Hi Jackie @littlebee4. Wow! The Saint Agatha's Tower on the island of Malta is definitely a striking building! With its deep red, brick-themed, or terracotta-colored walls, it's simply difficult to miss it! With its stark contrast against the bright blue sky, that building surely pops as you mentioned. Plus, with its strategic location and commanding views of the entire site, it's surely helpful in spotting invading enemy forces advancing on the island. π
Is this building still used as a watchtower today, or has it been completely converted into a museum of history for visiting tourists?
Hi @storiesoferne ππ»π
It surely is a striking building. Seen from afar. I didnβt have photographs of that, but luckily a lot from close by. When we first arrived in the island it was completely faded and cracked and soon after they started to restore it, until we almost left the island a year later.
Nowadays it is converted to a museum that is entirely run by volunteers. Giving you informations about the history of it and the surrounding area.
I never visited inside as it was closed for a long time. So have only read about it.
Have a wonderful Monday further ππ»π
Okay, I see. And it looks like that historical building has been well-maintained and preserved by the volunteers. Architectural relics like the Saint Agatha's Tower are a great testament to the ancient era and will surely be a remarkable heritage to be proud of, especially for the citizens of Malta. π
You too @littlebee4, have an awesome week ahead! ππ
Yes, they did a great job the volunteers. All for generations to come so they can see their heritage and know more how it used to be. Places and buildings like this should be treasured. π Iβm glad some people step up when governments donβt.
Thank you kindly @storiesoferne π so far it is lovely and the sun is shining bright. Feels like summer already. βοΈ
Wow! Looks like the sunny weather and the summer season have a lot of wonderful experiences in store for you. Don't forget to wear sunglasses and suntan lotion then...lol ππ
It sure is a great season, can get a bit to warm too.
I have to be very careful with the sun that I donβt burn. Even winter months can make my face burn by the sun.
You wonβt find me sunbathing anywhere π but exploring new areas yep. In the shade hahaha
Oh well, if that's the case, it would be healthy to hide your face away from the burning rays of the sun. A really huge hat would help, I think. π Stay safe always @littlebee4. π
I am protecting me @storiesoferne π
Thanks for your kindness!
Loads of sunscreen 𧴠and long sleeves etc. help too even in the summer.
