Egmont Close where are you?!563 viewsTaken on 18th July 2009 this is what was Egmont Close where I lived at No 47 in 1959-1963. It's now an extensive development of Apartments but my fond memories are no doubt part of the foundations!John Kirby

All Change Again454 viewsCitygate (Kingsgate, Porta Reale, Bieb il Belt) is to be rehashed. I suppose replacing the present monstrosity with a gap must be an improvement, but we should not expect anything conventional from the architect of the Pompidou Centre. The loss of the road over the top is causing some concern. See Times of Malta Prefect

Old Royal Navy Canteen Gzira830 viewsDuring my service time serving in Malta it was the Britannia Bar. About three or four years ago it was renamed the Jubilee Café. Although on initial entry it looks dark and gloomy, well worth a visit. Bursting with bric-a-brac, it even has things hanging off the ceiling upside down such as a table and chairs fully laid out for service – the food is good too!

Barracca Lift Entrance571 viewsOpened to the public on 17th December 1903 at a cost of £5,000, the Barracca Lift connected Lascaris Wharf (Customs House) with Upper Barracca Gardens offering both a shorter and quicker route. This view show the entrance to the lower courtyard, the directions sign to Valletta City still today positioned to the left with the lifts departing from inside on the right . No doubt the lift is now sorely missed by the hordes of tourists arriving on cruise ships – try walking it, or more sensible, don’t!

Still There! And ready for the new one.455 views36 years after the service ceased and 26 years after the lift was dismantled! The sign can still be found located on the wall of the entrance way to the lower courtyard. A return from Corradino canteen (Tombola) across Grand Harbour in a hand rowed dghajsa and up the lift was far quicker than taking the bus back to Valletta.

Barracca Lift Top558 viewsThe upper point the lift arrived at. Two lifts were provided, each capable of carrying 12 passengers, rising through 75 tons of steelwork vertically 167 feet 7 inches, with the winding gear housed in a turret even higher at 197 feet, to a lateral bridge, extending some 23 feet out from the bastion gardens.

Fort Manoel Entrance467 viewsThe 1723 original entrance to Fort Manoel (behind the Lido) on the foreshore of Marsamxett Harbour where restoration has just commenced, the continued presence of the Malta Royal Yacht Club having previously delayed it. The original would have included a moat and drawbridge (where the bike sits), features it is hoped to include in the restoration.

La Passeggiata655 viewsDefinition: As evening falls and the harsh sun inches out of the your favorite piazza, an evening ritual is bound to begin, the Italian/Maltese tradition of passeggiata, a gentle stroll (slow! think slow!) through the main streets of the old town.
Locals tend to dress up for passeggiata, and tourists are usually easy to spot in their shorts and fanny packs. Older folks sit along the route, nursing a beer or a glass of wine in the bar, and watching for things to gossip about; la passeggiata is where new romances are on display as well as new shoes.

The Opera House 1946572 viewsJohn Clark
The old opera house site will be converted into an open-air theatre that will incorporate the bombed ruins according to plans by Italian architect Renzo Piano to be unveiled this week. (22 June 2009)
The plans envisage a 1,200-seat roofless theatre, built around the ruins and other remains stored elsewhere over the years. It will all be enhanced with state-of-the-art technology that will give the place the scenographic and acoustic properties expected from a contemporary theatre. See Times of Malta Video Prefect
