The very name conjures a plethora of images; of sun-kissed landscapes, golden beaches, azure waters, honey-coloured stone, armoured knights, bastions and sieges, war planes and ancient stones that whisper the tales of millennia. But Malta is more than just a geographic location; it is an idea, a living testament to the strength, adaptability, and ingenuity of the people who have weathered the storms of history and emerged stronger and more determined with each passing epoch.

The Malta Opus is the result of a conversation that inspired the idea of creating such a body of work that sparked the imagination of The Malta Opus team. Working alongside historians, professors, government ministers, priests, craftsmen, curators, teachers, doctors, parents and children, OPUS strived to make the dream a reality. The teams of writers, editors, designers, researchers and photographers left no stone unturned in making this production the ultimate and most definitive national treasure that would both educate and inspire ✠.
