  • Manoel Island: an Island with a Fort
    Manoel Island: An Island with a Fort . and a Future 299 Manoel Island: An Island with a Fort . and a Future John A. Schembri and Maria Attard The Maltese Islands: Their Location and Size The Maltese Islands are located in the central Mediterranean, about 93km due south of Sicily and 290km east of Tunisia. The islands lie at the exact centre of the Mediterranean, with a 19 degree distance from the eastern and western ends of the Mediterranean, and a longitudinal distance of seven and nine degrees respectively from the northern and southern limits of the Mediterranean shores. This geographical location throws light on, and partially accounts for, the socio-economic and cultural influences experienced by the islands. As a result of the central location, the islands were occupied by successive military powers that were dominant or influential in Mediterranean affairs. This long series of political occupants left their mark on coastal land use and conditioned the strong economic and cultural links with Europe, which accounts for 80 per cent of the islands’ trade and from where 90 per cent of tourism originates. Semitic links with North Africa are evident in the language1. With an area of approximately 320km2, the archipelago consists of three main islands: Malta (245km2), Gozo (68km2) and Comino, together with a number of other smaller islands and rocks: it has a total length of about 45km, trending north-west to south-east. The islands lie on the submarine ridge that divides the Mediterranean into two halves. Like all other small island states the Maltese Islands possess a small area per kilometre of coastline and they are more dependent on their coastal resources than larger states.

    Malta SHORT Pierre Sammut ARTICLEST he Influence of the - Knights of the Order THINK of St. John on Malta CULTURE Due to its geographical position at the cross- roads of the Mediterranean, Malta has wit- nessed many different influences. In Ancient times, it attracted the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginian and the Romans, then other con- querors including the Arabs, Normans, Ara- gonese and the Crusaders, the French and the British. But one of the most fascinating pe- riods of Maltese history remains to this very day the period governed by the Knights Hos- pitaller, better known as the Order of St. John, who governed the islands from 1530 to the end of the 18th century, when the French un- der Commander Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta. Prehistoric Temples and Majestic Palaces from different periods are unique landmarks. The Knights in particular left their marks on vario- us aspects of Maltese culture, in particular the language, buildings and literature. Their period is often referred to as Malta's Golden Age, as a result of the architectural and artistic embel- lishment and as a result of advances in the overall health, education and prosperity of the local population. Music, literature, theatre as well as visual arts all flourished in this period, which also saw the foundation and develop- ment of many of the Renaissance and Baro- que towns and villages, palaces and gardens, tomy and Surgery was established by Grand the most notable being the capital city, Valletta, Master Fra Nicolau Cotoner I d'Olesa at the one of several built and fortified by the Sacra Infermeria in Valletta, in 1676.

  • Create a Breathing Space for the People of Malta: Make Manoel Island a National Heritage Park
    Create a breathing space for the people of Malta: Make Manoel Island a National Heritage Park. Rampant development and exploitation of open spaces over the years has led to Gzira and its surrounding towns becoming overbuilt zones with little to no open public spaces. MIDI’s proposed development of Manoel Island promises more of the same. The project threatens to lower the quality of life of thousands for the benefit of the few. Our main concerns about this project are: Destruction of a large part of the Gzira promenade, currently a year-round recreational meeting place for Maltese citizens and foreign visitors to our country; Obstruction of the world-famous promenade views across Marsamxett Harbour. If these views (which are proudly featured on Air Malta planes) are lost, the charm and draw of the Gzira promenade will be gone forever; Narrowing of the sea channel through land reclamation and extension of the Yacht Yard between Gzira and Manoel Island. This will bring industrial activity directly into a densely populated area; Removal of the only slipway and facilities in the Harbour will damage the traditional cultural setting of the creek and lead to the disappearance of small fishing and sailing boats by excluding boat owners of modest means who have used this slipway over the past 70 years; Extended period of heavy construction which will seriously affect the flow of traffic and have a heavy impact on the quality of life of those residing in the vicinity; Building of apartments for thousands more residents in an already overpopulated area will generate thousands more car trips and add to the existing air pollution in Gzira which contributes to the area's high rate of asthma and health problems.

  • The Sacra Infermeria, the Knights' Hospital at Valletta
    MALTESE HISTORY C. Some of the Order’s Projects in Malta Form 3 1 Unit C.1 - Valletta and the Three Cities H F E B D C A G Grand Harbour c. 1750. 1. Valletta in the 17th and 18th centuries To the original group of public buildings in Valletta the Order added in the 17th and 18th centuries, a theatre, a library, a custom house and a municipal palace for the Università of Valletta and the Three Cities. The Law Courts (Castellania) were rebuilt and the Church of St John was decorated by the paintings and sculpture of the Neapolitan artist Mattia Preti. During the 18th century new buildings in Valletta had a more worldly use. In 1732 the Manoel Theatre was built (the oldest standing theatre in Europe today), a library and warehouses along the Valletta Grand Harbour waterfront. Grand Master Pinto’s warehouses (known as Pinto Wharf) were built in the second half of the 18th century – today these have become the Valletta Waterfront sea- passenger terminal. The Grandmaster’s Palace and most of the auberges had their façade decorated on the th baroque style. Some of the richest houses (eg.Casa Rocca Piccola) were built in the 18 century. Strada San Giorgio and Strada Mercanti were the best streets of Valletta having most of the finest buildings with shops, stores or workrooms in the ground floor. Strada Forni and Strada San Paolo were mainly residential having fewer shops and fewer public buildings. In the 17th century more and more people went to live within the walls of the city.
