Sites in Malta were first inscribed on the list at the 4th Session of the [[World Heritage Committee]], held in [[Paris]], France, in 1980. At that session, all three current sites were added to the list: the [[Hypogeum of Ħal-Saflieni|Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum]], City of [[Valletta]], and [[Ġgantija]] Temples.<ref>{{cite web |title=Report of the Rapporteur on the Fourth Session of the World Heritage Committee |url=https://whc.unesco.org/archive/repcom80.htm#130 |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324155056/https://whc.unesco.org/archive/repcom80.htm#130 |archive-date=24 March 2016 |date=29 September 1980}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Malta |url=https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/unesco-world-heritage-sites-in-malta.html |publisher=World Atlas |access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref> In 1992, the temples of [[Ħaġar Qim]], [[Mnajdra]], [[Ta' Ħaġrat Temples|Ta' Ħaġrat]], [[Skorba Temples|Skorba]], and [[Tarxien Temples|Tarxien]] were added to the site of Ġgantija Temples, to form the [[Megalithic Temples of Malta]] site.

| The [[hypogeum]] is a large subterranean structure that was used as an underground cemetery between 4000 BC and 2500 BC and was discovered in 1902. Three superimposed levels of chambers were carved into soft [[globigerina]] [[limestone]], with some chambers imitating the architecture of the contemporary above-ground megalithic temples. The hypogeum initially contained the remains of about 7000 individuals. The excavations provided insight into neolithic burial rituals, which likely had several stages. Pottery vessels and stone and clay amulets were recovered from the site, as well as stone and clay human figures, including a famous statue depicting a woman lying on a bed or couch, called The Sleeping Lady.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/130 |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160321003433/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/130/ |archive-date=21 March 2016}}</ref>

| 1980

| 131; i, vi (cultural)

| The city of Valletta was founded in 1566. The [[Knights of St John]] conceived and planned the city as a single, holistic creation of the late [[Renaissance]], with a uniform grid plan within fortified [[Fortifications of Valletta|city walls]]. Although experiencing renovations and an extensive damage during [[World War II]], a high proportion of the urban fabric has been preserved or restored. Some of the Valletta's 320 monuments include [[Saint John's Co-Cathedral]], the [[Grandmaster's Palace (Valletta)|Grandmaster's Palace]], the [[Auberge de Castille]], the [[Auberge de Provence]], the [[Auberge d'Italie]], the [[Auberge d'Aragon]], and the churches of [[Church of Our Lady of Victories, Valletta|Our Lady of Victory]], [[Church of Saint Catherine of Italy, Valletta|St. Catherine]] and [[Franciscan Church of St Mary of Jesus|il Gesù]], as well as the 18th century constructions such as the [[Auberge de Bavière]], the [[Collegiate Parish Church of St Paul's Shipwreck|Church of the Shipwreck of St Paul]], and the [[Manoel Theatre]].<ref>{{cite web |title=City of Valletta |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/131 |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160325160506/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/131/ |archive-date=3 April 2016}}</ref>

| 132; iv (cultural)

| The site contains seven prehistoric temples at six sites (originally, the site only listed the two Ġgantija temples and was extended in 1992) that were constructed during the 4th and 3rd millennium BC. These temples are among oldest stone free-standing structures in the world and likely had important ritual significance for a highly organized society. Although each temple is different in architectural design, they usually contain an elliptical forecourt in front of a concave façade. The surviving horizontal masonry courses indicate that the monuments had [[Corbel arch|corbelled roofs]], which was a remarkably sophisticated solution for its time. Decorative features of the temples include panels with drilled holes and [[bas-relief]] panels depicting spiral motifs, trees, plants and various animals.<ref name="Temples" />

== Tentative list ==

In addition to the sites inscribed on the World Heritage list, member states can maintain a list of tentative sites that they may consider for nomination. Nominations for the World Heritage list are only accepted if the site has previously been listed on the tentative list.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tentative Lists |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/ |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401104537/https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/ |archive-date=1 April 2016}}</ref> As of 2018, Malta had seven such sites on its tentative list, all of which were added in 1998.<ref name="malta" />

| A small fortified city at a strategic position on a hill dominates the surrounding countryside. First settlements on the site date back to the Bronze age. The settlement was expanded in the Medieval era and transformed into a purely military outpost by the [[Knights Hospitaller|Order of St. John]] in the 16th century. Nevertheless, some monuments in the [[Baroque]] style were constructed as well, including the [[Cathedral of the Assumption, Gozo|Cathedral Church]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Cittadella (Victoria – Gozo) |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/981/ |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906111257/https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/981/ |archive-date=6 September 2015}}</ref>

| The line of fortifications was built in the 19th century by the British. Initially the fortifications consisted of three independent forts ([[Fort Madalena]], [[Fort Mosta]], and [[Fort Binġemma]]), which were linked together by a continuous wall in the 1890s. By 1907, the fortifications had lost their military significance and were abandoned.<ref>{{cite web |title=Victoria Lines Fortifications |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1114/ |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324155702/https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1114/ |archive-date=24 March 2016}}</ref>
