The way the Auberge de Castille should be lit up following the extensive restoration of its facade has been a subject of debate within government circles for a number of years.

The picture above shows a proposal which the former government was considering in 2011 while the restoration works were under way.

Picture at bottom is how the facade looked after a new lighting system was tested over the past few days. A spokeswoman for the Office of the Prime Minister emphasized that the project is in the testing phase.

Meanwhile, photos of the new Castille lighting elicited a flood of comments on timesofmalta.com yesterday, as well as a few humorous memes on Facebook. Three of the memes are being reproduced below.

Most of the commenters said they did not like the new lighting, with many saying the white lighting is too harsh and there should be a touch of warm white lighting.
