Imperial Valletta, 1910

Valletta in 1910 is a compact British imperial port where the Mediterranean Fleet keeps grey battleships in the Grand Harbour and the Knights’ baroque palaces serve as offices and messes. The walk moves from the harbour approach up along the bastioned quays and Strada Reale, past the Royal Opera House colonnade and the Barrakka lifts, into the city’s limestone streets and gardens overlooking blue water.

33 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Valletta as it stood in 1910 (“Crown Colony of Malta”).
