Went trekking with my buddy, Max, the other day. We parked near this beautiful building on top of Selmun hill. Before we started our walk Max and I took a picture of each other in front of the building.
Selmun Palace might look like a fortress, but it was originally built in the early 18th century as a luxurious knight’s lodge for hunting and recreation. This part of Malta has a long history of being attacked by seagoing marauders, so designing buildings to look imposing and withstand violence was common.
