The island is about 5 kilometres away from the main island- Malta, and is accessible by a ferry link, which at the moment is the only link between the two islands.

using art as leverage to become a nonnoble in a chivalric order and to gain freedom for his crimes. All nobles in the Knights of Malta have a coat of arms to help tell the story of who came to the island and earned a knighthood. Since Caravaggio was not a noble he did not have a coat of arms.
