St. John's Cathedral in Valletta – My Impressions


During my visit to Valletta, I visited St. John's Cathedral. While it looks modest from the outside, its interior is stunning – the gilded walls, rich decorations, and marble tombs of the knights are truly impressive.

I was most moved by two masterpieces by Caravaggio: the monumental "Beheading of St. John the Baptist" and the realistic "St. Jerome Writing." It was an encounter with a true artistic genius that will linger in the memory for a long time.

Additionally, one of the works was presented in multimedia form – close-ups revealed every detail and technique the master used. This allowed me to further understand the artist's genius.

My international friends

One of the most beautiful things that has happened to me at my school is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Every day we learn together, share experiences, and in the evenings we meet to celebrate, talk, and simply have fun. This is an extraordinary opportunity not only to improve my language skills but also to discover new cultures, flavors, and personalities. Thanks to this, I feel like my perspective on the world is becoming increasingly broader, and I myself am enriched by new acquaintances and friendships. I'm truly happy to be part of this adventure. 🌍💛

🌊 Trip to Gozo and Comino 🌴

During our stay in Malta, we managed to visit two extraordinary islands – Gozo and Comino. We arrived in Gozo by boat and immediately headed to the capital, Victoria. We arrived there for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – the atmosphere was incredible, full of joy and colorful celebrations. We also visited the Citadel, which offers a beautiful view of the entire area, and the cathedral, which is stunning in its architecture. On Comino, we indulged in blissful sunbathing. The turquoise water and picturesque bays made it hard to tear our eyes away – a true paradise for sun lovers and relaxation. It was a day full of excitement, one that will long be remembered. ✨ I'd like also to introduce you to the work of a friend from Germany. His photographs are more than just images to me – they capture emotions, moments frozen in time, and the beauty we sometimes fail to see in our everyday lives. He's the best photographer I've ever met, and his shots are simply...

Creating New Things with AI

Today I tried something really fun — creating my own postcard from Malta using AI! It’s amazing to see how technology can help bring ideas to life in just a few clicks. From choosing the symbols of Malta to adding my personal touch, I got to experiment and be creative in a completely new way. Here’s the result — my very own AI-made Maltese postcard! :) I’ve also been experimenting with other AI tools, like those that help create animated videos. It was so much fun! Using these tools, I made a short guide about Malta for anyone who’s thinking of visiting. From the historic streets of Mdina to the sunny beaches and hidden gems, I got to share all the highlights in a creative and engaging way. Creating this guide was not only a fun experience but also a great way to combine learning, technology, and travel inspiration! Thanks to AI, I was able also to create a fun and colorful presentation about the 5 most important landmarks in Malta! It was amazing to see how AI helped me organize infor...
