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!

• 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.

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

• tifelmalti said:

  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.

• John said:

  I visited Valletta and Senglea, great place to visit.
