Maltese houses

A vintage house in the town of Mosta

With the overwhelming building boom going on in Malta right now, with tower cranes replacing the domes and steeples of baroque churches on the Maltese skyline, it's worth remembering that we have many vintage Maltese houses that are still visible and inhabited. It is, however, a shame that many of them are being destroyed to be replaced with apartments and high-risers, that is turning Malta into a mini-Manhattan.

Another house in the town of Birkirkara

What is even more heinous and atrocious is that that they are selling these beautiful houses, and leaving the facade visible, they build a 12 story apartment behind it. So, admire these two beautiful houses, with their quaint architecture, balconies, sculpted windows and so much more, and which unfortunately are slowly disappearing.
