Island capital, location of the baroque Co-Cathedral of St John (8)

I believe the answer is:

valletta

(Other definitions for valletta that I've seen before include "my neighbouring capital" , "Capital of Malta" , "Malta's capital" , "Maltese capital" , "Hard biscuit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
