This is one of two last shots I am posting today from the series on our evening in Cottonera. I am posting these shots earlier than usual while I am waiting to be picked up and taken to the airport for a flight to Milan in Italy. My son, Jean-Pierre, and my-son-in-law, Ian, both supporters of Italy’s most popular football club, Juventus, convinced me to go with them to watch an important league game against Roma. I am not a Juventus supporter but I’m sure I will enjoy the short stay. Will be back on Sunday evening. Will not be able to post till then.
As we walked through Bormla (Cospicua) towards L-Isla (Senglea) where we had our car parked I took this last shot of the Birgu Waterfront.
The first lit building on the left is, today, Malta’s Maritime Museum – before that and during colonial times it was the Naval bakery which provided for the whole British fleet in the Mediterranean. The lit building to its right is St Lawrence church, the Parish church of Birgu, partly covered by a monument to commemorate the departure of the last foreign (in this case British) soldier from Maltese land. Above them is the lit cupola of the church dedicated to The Annunciation.
Thank you so much for looking and for the comments and fav's on yesterday's picture.
