The Demographics of Malta
Jan 20th, 2010 by admin in 2. Mediterranean cruises, 2.2. Malta
Malta is Europe’s most densely populated country and one of the most populated countries in the world, with 1265 inhabitants per square kilometer. The country has 410 000 inhabitants, with most living in the towns surrounding Valletta, Sliema, and the Great Harbor. More than 95 % of the population are native Maltese, but there are a few minorities as well, including British, Italians, Lebanese, and French. So if your European Cruise stops by Malta, don’t be surprised by the wide culture brought by those minorities.
Malta’s culture was heavily influenced by foreign invaders and has a strong feeling of tradition. Roman Catholics make up to 98 % of the population. Businesses are closed on Sunday, divorce legislation is inexistent, and abortion is illegal.
