The monastery of St Catherine in Valletta has been closed for the past 400 years and is newly opened to the public. It’s a very calming place, the entrance looks over an ornate garden with a fountain as a centre piece. This is surrounded by cloisters that make you want to whisper so as not to interrupt the stillness the architecture and place of mediation affords. The monastery was founded in 1575 and was initially intended to care for female orphans. Over the centuries it has been renovated and rebuilt by a number of caretakers but today it echoes the past in a very soothing way.
