A delightful experience while visiting Malta is to treat your taste buds to local cuisine at one of several small restaurants. Also explore the boutique shops housed in historic buildings. An example is the Casa Castelletti Gallery which offers Maltese arts and crafts. Presumably it is named after Count Ferdinand Theuma Castelletti who was part of the uprising against the Republic of France in 1798 through 1800. Afterwards you can visit the grand Palazzo Castelleti in nearby Rabat, the 17th century residence of the family.
