Just up the steps from our address on the harbour front was a very imposing square where the Grandmaster's Palace is situated.
 |
| Sentries marched back and forth in the daytime |
 |
| A plaque on the wall commemorated the George Cross awarded to Malta after World War II |
 |
| The main entrance looked very impressive... |
 |
| ...and you can wander in an internal garden to the rear... |
 |
| ...complete with ferocious lion & tamer. |
 |
| Opposite there's another impressive building but it wasn't clear what purpose it had (to the right is the Italian Cultural Institute) |
 |
| One of our favourite squares was by the national library... |
 |
| ...with the fabulous Caffe Cordina... |
 |
| ...celebrating 180 years in 2017! I wonder if the cakes have always been as amazing. |
 |
| An aptly named grocer's on the main shopping street |
 |
| We visited the National Museum of Archaeology... |
 |
| ...with its wonderful old sculptures... |
 |
| ...and beautiful architecture. |
