Carmelite church and Anglican Church in Valletta, Malta
The churches in Valletta tower over the apartment buildings which in turn tower over the ramparts of the city. An interesting place to visit if you are at all keen on history.
I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

I love the layers and the black and white moodiness, Jude. 🙂
I think streetscapes suit black and white and in this case that metallic dome helps.
I agree! Wonderful. 🙂
Nice shots, Jude. Your pictures of that city have made me want to visit it.
Regards as always, Pete. x
As I said previously Pete, you should take Julie there for a treat.
Maybe for her 60th? Gives me time to save up…
With this white and black arrangement, it looks a bit like a scene after war …
Well it is very old – and crumbly in places 🙂
D’you know, I visited Malta on business years ago, and stayed in Valetta. Little time to see the place, so I have no recollection of this skyline, Jude!
You have to go over to Sliema across the Marsamxett Harbour to see this skyline. In Valletta itself everything is too crowded together. A lovely city – I must return.
Oh, OK! Thanks for letting me know. I have often said I must return…perhaps one day!
A good place for a long weekend I think.
Yes, I would agree
beautiful
I love Malta and Valletta. I was there some time ago in winter and it was beautiful. I encourage anyone to go there and discover all the island has to offer. I also wrote about it recently in my blog. The history is fascinating. Nice post!
It is indeed a fascinating country. Thanks for commenting Roberto, I will pop over and read your blog as soon as I have a moment.
A fascinating image, Jude. Strange how places of worship often dwarf the buildings around them.
Another way of showing off the wealth of the church and control of the people…
Absolutely!
I adore Malta and this is one terrific shot. Thank you, Jude!
Thank you Paula for giving me the opportunity to post these images from the archives 🙂
