Maltese balconies

As you wander the streets of Valetta, take the time to look up and you will see the unique Maltese balconies in abundance.

Others believe an Arab influence seems likely and it is a popular thought that women in the 18th century could sit hidden up there and watch the world go by.Okumaya devam et
