Use statues of the old Valletta City Gate

While abstaining from any comment on the proposed Piano plan of Valletta's entrance, I wish to make one point which, I am sure, will interest many readers.

The former old City Gate, which was pulled down to make room for the existing City Gate, presented two important statues which, I believe, should be included in the proposed plan of Valletta's entrance.

The first one is the full-size stone statue of Grandmaster de Valette, who was responsible for the building of the city that bears his name. Would it not be appropriate to somehow include this statue, if it still exists, in the Piano model? The other statue is the oversize bronze statue of Pope Pius V, who financed the building of the new city. As many people know, this statue deserves a more suitable location than the present one, in a corner of Great Siege Square on street level.
