About Malta
Malta is a unique gem in the Mediterranean with 7,000 years of history. The Maltese Islands have been described as one big open-air museum. What makes them unique is that so much of their past is visible today. Here you will find temples older than Stonehenge or the Egyptian pyramids, medieval fortress cities, and artifacts from World War II.
The location for our competition at this 2022 CATAN World Championship is the lovely Grand Hotel Excelsior, a five-star hotel with luxury accommodations, breath-taking views, and world-class service.
