  The view is likely taken from the area of the Lower Barrakka Gardens or St Barbara Bastions, looking towards Fort St Elmo and Fort Sant Angelo across the water.

  This is the second posting of this photo. The first one disappeared into the ether somewhere and we reposted to keep it up there. Flickr is sometimes amazing😄

  I agree on the location but is it not a reversed image?

• Suck Diesel said:

  Irish251 Well spotted, no wonder streetview didn’t match.
  Compare to this PC, very similar

Felsen b. Balaklawa

from SMU Libraries Digital Collections

  Here, this is a proof the author labeled the photos somewhat incorrectly! (See my other comment about Alupka.) This is Lastochkino Gnezdo ("Swallow's Nest") and it's not even close to Balaklava, and is about half way between Alupka and Yalta. Modern day considered "Greater Yalta". Balaklava is right near Sevastopol, miles away on the other side of Alupka. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swallow%27s_Nest_(Crimea)
