Opera House

from The Field Museum Library

• michaelcalleia said:

  There are errors all over. 1. the title is incorrect. That was the Malta Opera House that was distorted by a bomb during an air raid in WWII. see: www.maltaoperahouse.com/ 2. Malta does not have, and never had, gondolas. Small hired transport boats in Malta are called Dghajsa (pronounced, Dice-a). 3. the tag says Africa, Malta is, and always has been, part of Europe. 4. What does this image have to do with Zoology Mammals?

  michaelcalleia Maybe because there's a horse there? Just a guess!

Malta boasts this thoroughfare of stairs with shops and tall buildings on either side of the Narrow Way (LOC)

  Amazing image I`ve always wanted to visit Malta and this thoroughfare is a must see when I go www.herbeysnews.co.uk/historic-newspapers.html

  Nigel Herbert I work and have lived in Valletta, and I can assure you that whatever street this is, it is not as active as it once was. It's still lovely though.

  I visited Valletta and Senglea, great place to visit.

• Lucy B said:

  I think this should be labeled Valletta, the new (i.e 16th century) capital of Malta.

• michaelcalleia said:

  @LucyGraceBarber, I think it may actually be Senglea, looking from Valletta across the Grand Harbor.
