About this audio guide
This guide to the National Library of Malta in Valletta follows a grand library commissioned by the Knights of Saint John in the seventeen eighties, and three dates in its story that refuse to add up. You'll meet the Polish-born architect Stefano Ittar and his son, a knight who opened Valletta's first public library with his own books, and a vault that once held bullion. Best heard on the square, facing the doors.
