Malta has been inhabited since approximately 5900 BC. Its location in the centre of the Mediterranean[16] has historically given it great strategic importance as a naval base, with a succession of powers having contested and ruled the islands, including the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Normans, Aragonese, Knights of St. John, French, and British.[17] Most of these foreign influences have left some sort of mark on the country's ancient culture.
