Window in the silent city by elza

Window in the silent city

I took this picture during a late evening walk in Imdina. Imdina is the old capital city of Malta which was founded as Maleth in around the 8th century BC by Phoenician settlers. It was later renamed Melite by the Romans. During the Arabic period, the city adopted its present name, from the Arabic word medina. The city remained the capital of Malta throughout the Middle Ages, until the arrival of the Order of St. John in 1530.
I remember the first time we were taken on a school visit to Imdina where my teacher emphasised that Imdina is called the silent city. We were a very impressionable and obedient class.
This window grill is in one of the mostly narrow streets of Imdina. I stopped to take the picture to capture the long shadow the only street lamp was casting on the rugged wall.
The photo and the caption are both terrific! Favourite
