Jean de la Vallette was Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of Saint John of Malta (Hospitallers). He defeated the Turkish invasion of Malta. He then decided to build a new fortified city at the Sciberras Heights to repel any future attack. He laid the first stone of the city, but died before completion. As an act of respect the city was named after him. It is the capital city of Malta still, Valletta.
