St George’s square in Valletta (formerly know as the Main Guard) is one of the most important open spaces in the capital city. In the past the square was used for the changing of the guard parade. When this ceremony stopped taking place at the end of British rule in Malta, it was turned into a car park. It was difficult to appreciate the beauty of this square, flanked on one side by the Grand Master’s Palace (which now houses the Maltese Parliament), when it was full of cars. Thankfully, the square has been restored and now serves as an attraction in the heart of our capital city. If it is splendid by day, by night it is quite magical, with a gorgeous water, music and light show which only serves to enhance the surrounding magnificent architecture.

That looks lovely. Have they just finished it? When we were there in September I can't remember seeing it. There was a lot of scaffolding and renovation work going on around and in front of the Grand Master's Palace where the plaques commemorating Roosevelt and King George V1 letters during WW2.
ReplyDeleteMust get back to Valletta soon, it's really beautiful. Brilliant photos.
The square looks beautiful at night with the fountains lit up and the reflections in the water.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive looking. I'm glad it has been restored; it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteHope it remains as lovely as it is now.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see the square now that it has changed- especially at night! It looks great they really did do a wonderful job. I agree with Zen, I only hope that it will stay as nice as it is now and that they will do a good job with upkeep to keep it that way.
ReplyDeleteI love the "colored" fountains.
