Correct answer: Jean de Valette

Jean de Valette was the 49th Grand Master and the city's namesake. After the Great Siege of Malta in 1565, he initiated the construction of a new fortified city on the Sceberras Peninsula to ensure the island's defense. A surprising fact is that the city's original name was 'Humilissima Civitas Valletta', meaning 'The Most Humble City of Valletta'. Photo: Hamelin de Guettelet, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0.
