Malta thrived under the Knights in the 16th century; An influx of immigrants, particularly skilled workers and artisans, was seen. They were attracted by the island’s booming economy due to Malta’s strategic location. It was the French who kicked out the Knights and the British who replaced the French. During this era, Malta’s cultural diversity was enriched with the arrival of European and African settlers. Today, Malta has became a world-renowned destination.
