Interesting Paul

That may well be another good reason

The Corradino Lines were built around this time to fortify the Corradino, the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities.

This must be Ras Hanzir - Marsa

On the right one can see Spencer's Monument - designed by Architect George Pullicino.

The monument was originally erected on Corradino Hill in 1831 - the Hill of Wise Counsel !

Sixty Two years later the British decided they needed to install large cannons to defend the harbour

1893 – Spencer’s monument was moved to its present position in Blata il Bajda on top of what we now call Spencer Hill.

Robert Cavendish Spencer is the Great-Great Uncle of Diana Spencer

I have proposed that Spencer's Burial Place should be restored as it forms part of our heritage and history
