The Knights of Malta

The Knights of Malta

In the early 11th century, a group of merchants from the Amalfi Coast of Italy received permission from the Caliph of Egypt to rebuild a church and hospital in Jerusalem to care for pilgrims to the Holy Land. They called themselves The Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Fast forward almost one thousand years later, and this group still exist. Not only do they still exist, but they have a unique status in the world of international diplomacy. Learn more about the Knights of Malta and their thousand-year history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
