Enlightening series on Valletta monuments

George Portelli, Victoria, Australia

I have been following with great interest the series entitled One World - Protecting The Most Significant Buildings, Monuments And Features Of Valletta. I am sure that like me, a lot of people have not been aware of the existence of some of these buildings etc. I wonder if the author intends to eventually publish them in book form accompanied by appropriate illustrations in colour and, perhaps, a bit more narrative.

Like George Portelli of Australia I have found this series fascinating-having spent over eight years of my childhood around the Grand Harbour. Maybe the coverage could be extended to Cottonera and beyond where much has survived but is little known. We lived for some time in the external married quarters of Fort Ricasoli of which one block remains above Fort Rinella as an example of British colonial military architecture.
