Malta accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on November 14, 1978, and all its inscribed sites are recognized for their cultural heritage. Nominations focus on prehistoric temples, fortified Renaissance-era urban planning, and subterranean sacred structures. Key themes include ancient ritual architecture exemplified by the megalithic temple complexes, baroque and military urban design in Valletta, and underground necropolises reflecting religious and ceremonial traditions.
