  • The Methodist Church STORY 'The Methodist Church' by Paul P
    Robert Samut Hall in Floriana formerly known as the Methodist Church STORY 'The Methodist Church' by Paul P. Agius Dip Educ (Ad), BA. The year 1815 brings to mind the Battle of Waterloo, and in that same year also, British military personnel stationed on our island sent an im­ portant appeal to the Methodist Mis­ sionary Committee in London, to so- licit the presence of a minister to conduct the weekly serv­ ices here. The request was partially complied with in 1823. Eric H. Fawthrop wrote in his book 'The Floriana Story'_ that methodism in Malta had by that time flourished so much, that among its members 118 were soldiers. Between them they hired three rooms, one in Senglea, in Valletta and in Floriana to practice their religious obligations. In August 1824 the Reverend John Keeling accompanied by his wife, arrived at the Malta Missionary Station and stayed at No: 55 Britannia Street corner with Old Bakery Street, Valletta. The building was the first and only Prot­ estant Church in Malta until 1839, when St Paul's Angli­ can Cathedral was opened in Valletta. Stone throwing incidents between the local groups and The Methodist Church in Floriana now Methodist Missionaries occurred quite regularly. One such Robert Sammut Hall notable episode cited in the above mentioned book involv- ing the Rev Dr William Harris Rule and Rev S.S. Wilson 1 took place on 5 h August 1826. The latter had just finished the funeral service ofthe first Maltese to become protestant and a very large crowd estimated to be fifteen thousand, shouted, hooted, whistled, screamed, hurled stones and clutched at the coffin during the half-mile trip from Valletta to the grave in Floriana.

  • Regenerating the Valletta Grand Harbour Area Abstract
    Restoring Life in the City: Regenerating the Valletta Grand Harbour Area Nadia Theuma(1), Anthony Theuma (2) (1)Institute of Tourism, Travel and Culture, University of Malta (2)Paragon Europe, Malta [email protected] Abstract Harbour Cities are formed by the economic, political, social and cultural activity that surrounds them. In recent years a number harbour cities worldwide have been at the forefront of regeneration – and re-building their reality based on revived cultural centres, new commercial activity and international links rather than basing their success on the industrial activity synonymous with their past lives. Valletta, Malta’s harbour – city region is one such city. This paper traces the fate of the Grand Harbour and its neighbouring cities in the island of Malta through the events of past centuries and the most recent regeneration projects. This paper will highlight the importance that harbours have for the prosperity of the urban areas. By analysing the rise and fall of the city regions, this paper will also demonstrate that regeneration of harbour areas has to be in line with the regeneration of the surrounding cities – one does not occur without another. The findings of this paper are based on research conducted in the area during the past eight years through three EU funded projects.1 Key Words: grand harbour, cities, socio-economic development, DevelopMed, DELTA, Malta 1 The Projects are: (1) DevelopMed – Interreg Project (a project commenced in 2009 run by the Marche Region, Italy with Paragon Europe, representing

    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.
