MALTA Četiri razloga da posetite lepoticu Mediterana
Four reasons to visit this Mediterranean beauty
VOTERFRONT VALETA Visoki bastioni dižu se uz Grand Harbor, sa šetalištem punim prodavnica i restorana jer je Voterfront Valeta predivno mesto na kojem još uvek možete da vidite različito obo- jena vrata – plava za ribu, zelena za povrće... KATEDRALA Za katedralu Svetog Jovana iz 1572. godine Val- ter Skot je napisao da ima „najupečatljiviji enterijer koji je ikad video“. Tu se čuvaju izuzetna blaga, pa i Karavađove slike. Umetnik je boravio na ostrvu po- četkom 17. veka, a tu je naslikao „Usekovanje glave Jovana Krstitelja“. POPAJEVO SELO Izgrađeno je kao filmski set za produkciju filma „Popaj“ iz 1980. sa Robinom Vilijamsom u glavnoj ulo- zi. Danas je filmski set pretvoren u turističku atrakciju. KALIPSO Peć ina gleda na veličanstveni crveni pesak najfi- nije plaže na ostrvu Gozo i navodno je ona koju po- minje Homer, a u kojoj je prelepa nimfa Kalipso se- dam godina držala Odiseja kao „zatočenika ljubavi“.
THE VALLETTA WATERFRONT Tall bulwarks rise high along the Grand Harbour, bordering a promenade that’s packed with shops and restaurants, with the Valletta Waterfront representing a beautiful place where you can still see different coloured doors – blue for fish, green for vegetables... CATHEDRAL St. John’s Co-Cathedral, dating back to 1572, was de- scribed by Walter Scott as having “the most striking inte- rior” he had ever seen. It preserves outstanding treasures, including the paintings of Caravaggio, with this artist having resided on the island in the early 17 th century, where he painted The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. POPEYE VILLAGE Constructed as a filmset for the 1980 film adaptation of Popeye, starring Robin Williams, it has since been con- verted into a tourist attraction and theme park. CALYPSO’S CAVE This cave overlooks the magnificent fine red sand of the best beach on the island of Gozo and is said to be the cave cited by Homer as the spot where the beautiful nymph Calypso held Odysseus captive as a ‘prisoner of love’ for seven years.
