The nation is comprised of seven tiny islands, of which two, Malta and Gozo, are currently inhabited. The archipelago itself has&nbsp; hosted settlements since the Neolithic period and served as an important naval base for the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans, among others. In more recent centuries, Malta was part of the Byzantine Empire, and ruled by the Knights Hospitaller, the French and the British.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With such a rich history, there is plenty to see in Malta.
