The foundation stone of Valletta was laid by the Grandmaster of the Order of Saint John,
After the Knights and the brief French interlude, the next building boom in Valletta occured during the British rule. Gates were widened, buildings demolished and rebuilt, houses widned and civic projects installed: However the whole city and its infrastructure were damaged by air raids in World War II, notably losing its majestic opera hosue constructed at the city entrance in the 19th century. The city contains various historic cafes, meeting places, resturants, banks, hotels and Goverment offices.
