Postcard from Malta – Valletta, European Cultural Capital in 2018

1822_valettaI wanted to choose the most representative photo that I took of Valletta today. This is typical for several reasons: on every corner, statues had to be built to represent saints; Valletta is built on a hill so many streets lead downwards; there are many enclosed balconies, many painted blue, red or green; and many of the buildings have decorative capitals.
Je voulais choisir la photo la plus représentative que j’ai prise de La Valette aujourd’hui. Celle-ci est typique pour plusieurs raisons : à chaque coin de rue, il fallait ériger des statues de saints ; La Valette est construite sur une colline donc beaucoup de rues sont très en pente ; des balcons fermés, souvent peints en bleu, rouge ou vert, se trouvent partout ; et beaucoup de bâtiments ont des chapiteaux décoratifs.
