Knights. And the armor of knights. And the shields with the red Maltese cross on. They are everywhere. As sculptures, images, souvenirs...
At http://www.visitmalta.com they say:
"It is hard to miss the legacy of the Knights in Malta. They gave the Islands one of its best-known faces to the world, the eight-pointed Maltese Cross.
No era has left such an imprint on the Islands as the 250-year rule of the Order. From their daily lives to their valiant battles, all is documented in the archives, architecture and folklore of the Maltese Islands."
