Hi I was born in Malta in 1946 and still live in Malta you should see it today a concrete jungle and tower cranes everywhere you look there is a building site everywhere you look. Malta is finished only the sea and sun left and now our government is planning to reclame land from the sea:-(((
Really enjoyed seeing this. Helps to understand why our families traveled so far aboard to gain a better life but ahhhhh look at all they left behind. Thanks for sharing.
Louis,this is great my friend.A lot of nostalgic photos in this. I also liked your choice of music,blended in well with the show. Thanks for sharing. John Demicoli-Syd-Australia.
Hätte dieses Land sehr gern auch zu dieser Zeit gesehen. In der heutigen Zeit zieht es mich jährlich 6-8 mal dahin. Ein Geheimnis was es zu ergründen gilt. Ich bin auf dem Weg.
you probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last days :)
Why was the entrance to Valletta pulled down?It was so beautiful.I remember going through it with my father.Vandals.Shame on you.Look at the rubbish they replaced it with.
Very nice old photos! Does anyone know what the location is of the steps and tunnel at 2:10 and if they still exist? I notice it's featured in The Malta Story (1953 film)
That is the main gate entrance to Valletta. The photo was taken from inside Valletta, overlooking where today there is the Fontana Tritoni. The entrance was destroyed by war.
Yes it is. Well, I was in Valletta a couple of weeks ago and was able to have a good look around the capital. Considering how much it was bombed during WW2 (my father was stationed there during the Siege) I think the Maltese have done very well to rebuild what survived.
Malta has become a victim of its own success. The population has doubled in a few years, rent prices getting higher and we are building thousands of new apartments monthly. The result is catastrophic.
yes you are and now the sister island of Gozo going to experience the same thing by allowing that monstrocity in Marsalforn to be built. They say it is progress.
I am from Gozo. I am very angry and sad. We are so fortunate to see what happened to Malta without being directly effected.....and yet, we allow the very same destruction to start here. Simply sad. I try to picture what the marine life looked like too back then. Talking to old fishermen when I was a kid, they use to say that there were groupers (ċeren) in the bays!!!
Thank you for your beautiful photos I showed this to my father and with a few minutes he started crying and he wished it was that time again

Tranquillity. Living with nature , no modern gadgets and stress.
Malta was so beautiful. They had nothing special but they were happier then we are.
They had less distractions, i.e. no technology and more social interactions
Malta is an ancient historic place,malties are cool people.
Malta is always of Maltese ❤️🌅🌸🌳🎈🌍🎉

@@leonardell-bon7104 Yes, you're right. I only found that out after I posted this comment. It looks completely different now.
Those grain cisterns across Saint Publius and in Valletta, are they empty now?
Yes
Malta is a very nice country
Malta WAS a very nice country.
Yes it is. Well, I was in Valletta a couple of weeks ago and was able to have a good look around the capital. Considering how much it was bombed during WW2 (my father was stationed there during the Siege) I think the Maltese have done very well to rebuild what survived.
These photos are wonderful. I would really like to find out how I can get hold of some of them? Please let me know!
No
Thanks John.........
Tom and Alfred thanks for your comments..........sliemalouis

We had trams in Malta in early 1900's.
