Enlarge for best view.
Reaching the 3rd floor of the Fortifications Interpretation Centre one finds the library which is still empty waiting for literature to arrive from other sources and there was also the temporary exhibition of the original plans by Laparelli for the building of a new city on Mount Sceberras which later became Valletta. From here one could go out onto St Andrew’s Bastion where one could see magnificent views of Marsamxett Harbour and Sliema.
In fact this is the view of Tigne Point in Sliema, an area which during the British period served the British army as lodgings for army personnel and their families as well as training grounds for the military.
Ann H Lefevre: In yesterday's shot, Cottoner is wearing the habit of the Order with the eight-pointed cross which is now synonymous with Malta.
Many thanks for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday's picture.
great panoramic shot Dad! I wonder how beautiful Sliema would have looked if this shot were taken before the frenzy of apartments started to be built instead of the lovely Victorian houses.
