EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting sunset scene over Valletta's Piazza Regina in 1909. Valletta, the historic capital city of Malta, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its rich history and architectural beauty. The city was founded by the Knights of St. John in 1566 and named in honor of Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Vallette, who led the successful defense of the island against the Ottoman invasion in 1565. The photograph shows the piazza, which is located in the heart of Valletta, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. The grand architecture of the buildings surrounding the square, with their intricate stonework and ornate balconies, are accentuated by the soft, golden light. The tall, imposing silhouette of the St. John's Co-Cathedral can be seen in the background, its facade adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. The people in the photograph add a sense of life and activity to the scene. They are gathered around the fountain in the center of the piazza, chatting and laughing, while others stroll along the cobblestone streets, enjoying the beautiful evening. The horse-drawn carriages and vintage automobiles add to the sense of history and nostalgia. This photograph is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily life of Valletta over a century ago. It is a reminder of the city's rich history and its enduring charm, which continues to draw visitors from around the world.
