This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The ''Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta'', otherwise known as the ''Sovereign Military Order of Malta'' or ''SMOM'' is a Roman Catholic order based in Rome, Italy. The order takes its origins from the Knights Hospitaller, an organization founded in Jerusalem in 1050. Following the loss of Christian held territories of the Holy Land to Muslims, the Order operated from Rhodes (1310–1523), and later from Malta (1530–1798), over which it was sovereign. ==Order's postal service in Malta== When the Maltese islands were administered by the Order, the knights set up a postal service. The earliest known letter is dated 14 June 1532, and it was sent from Grandmaster l'Isle Adam to the Bishop of Auxerre in France. The first proper postal service was set up in 1708, and the service was carried out at La Casa del Comun Tesoro in Valletta. The first postal markings on Maltese mail appeared later on in the 18th century, sometime between 1755 and 1791.〔
