Description
Malta is a small archipelago lying at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, almost equidistant from Gibraltar in the west and Lebanon in the east. It lies sixty miles south of Sicily and about two hundred miles north of Libya. Despite its present political state, that of an independent republic within the British Commonwealth of nations, Malta has a long and distinguished heraldic history.
The purpose of this limited publication is to bring to general attention some of the aspects of this heraldic heritage in one small handy document.
