Malta Celebrate 60 Years of Independence

Sep 21 2024

Today, Malta celebrates the 60th anniversary of its Independence, marking six decades since the country gained sovereignty from British rule on September 21, 1964. The day is observed as a national public holiday, with citizens across the Maltese Islands reflecting on the country’s journey toward self-governance, development, and international recognition.

Independence Day, or Jum l-Indipendenza, is one of the most significant milestones in Malta’s history. The momentous event in 1964 marked the end of over 150 years of British colonial rule, granting Malta the ability to govern its own affairs. Though the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, remained Malta’s head of state until it became a republic in 1974, Independence set the stage for the island’s modern political and social development.

To commemorate this important anniversary, a series of celebrations are taking place across Malta. Wreath-laying at the Independence Monument in Floriana is a key feature of today’s events, along with various cultural performances, concerts, and other celebrations highlighting Maltese heritage and resilience.

Awguri f’Jum l-Indipendenza!
