In which country is the Knights of Malta located?

The Republic of Malta is a micro-country located in Southern Europe.

Malta is located in southern Europe, adjacent to Italy, 90 kilometers south of Sicily, Italy, 284 kilometers east of Tunisia, and 333 kilometers north of Libya. It is an important transit point in Europe and Africa.

In terms of military strategy, Malta, as a naval base, has become a battleground for military strategists and is known as the "Heart of the Mediterranean". Malta is also a world-famous tourist destination and is known as the "Back Garden of Europe".

During the era of Carthage, Rome, and the Republic, it prospered due to Mediterranean trade, and the power of the post-Arab Empire dominated here for a while. The Knights of Malta, a special political entity now headquartered in Rome, got its name from the fact that it occupied Malta for centuries.
