My family and I have been constant visitors to this country since 1979. No trip was ever complete without a visit to Valletta and we always marvelled at the beautiful archway and pillars that we passed through.

Imagine our horror at the ‘Egyptian’-styled blocks we saw this week. I get it that maybe the old entrance may have been past renovation, but surely the city planners and architects could have come up with a sympathetic building? It looks ridiculous, out of place and downright ugly.

I noted that a theatre was being constructed from the bomb site, but it has been done very well with the pillars, etc.

Why, oh why has the abomination that is the new entrance to the city been allowed to be built?

Am I alone in my abhorrence of this structure?
