Join Flimkien għal Ambient Aħjar together with Vincent Zammit for a walk along Merchants Street in Valletta, to discover its splendour and history.

Merchants Street is one of the capital's longest thoroughfares. Prestigious establishments line the street, as do numerous imposing houses, palaces and churches that alternate with, and sometimes house, commercial enterprises. A walk down Merchants Street together with Vincent Zammit will allow its stately, dignified architecture and historical heritage to be appreciated.

We will hear about the numerous personalities who resided here and listen to some of the stories behind the facades that adorn this street; about some of the characters associated with the area, and further curiosities. What official institutions were present in this street? What role did Pope Innocent XII, Romano Carapecchia, Francesco Zerafa, Sir Oliver Starkey, Fra Giovanni Francesco Ricasoli, Hector Zimelli and others play in the making of Merchants Street as we know it today?

The walk takes place on March 2, meeting at 7pm near the Church of Our Lady of Victory. Reservations are available online.
