Is-Suq tal-Belt (The City Market) as it is lovingly known by the Maltese with its decorations for the festive season.
This indoor market was originally opened in the 1860s, when Malta still formed part of the British Empire, and today it has become one of the symbols of Valletta’s recent regeneration. Prior to its restoration, it had fallen into disrepair, until Valletta’s title as European Capital of Culture 2018 was regarded by the authorities as an opportunity to restore and invigorate it. This highly-anticipated restored market threw open its doors in January to reveal a decidedly 21st-century look and soul. Fruit and vegetables are still sold here – as they have been for over a century – but, today, food stalls, peddling everything from Asian cuisine, specialist mozzarella-based dishes, as well as Spanish tapas, welcome visitors who can also sit back and find shelter from the sun in the lounge area.
