"Valletta Citta Umilissima" is a Latin phrase that translates to "Valletta, the most humble city." It is a title that was bestowed upon the city of Valletta by Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette, the founder of the city and the leader of the Knights of St. John, a religious military order that was based in Malta.
The title "Citta Umilissima" was given to Valletta in recognition of the city's role in defending Malta from a siege by the Ottoman Empire in 1565. The siege, which lasted for several months, was eventually repelled by the Knights of St. John, and the city of Valletta was built on the site of the battle.
Today, the phrase "Valletta Citta Umilissima" is often used as a symbol of the city's pride in its history and heritage. The title is also a reminder of the important role that Valletta has played in the history of Malta and in the defense of the country. The phrase can be seen in various locations throughout the city, including on street signs, buildings, and monuments.
