The Valletta Skyline at Sunrise, Malta

This is another photo of the wonderful Valletta skyline at dawn, as seen from Sliema. It is one of my favourite skylines around the world and I don’t quite know why. It has only two major landmarks – the Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel with its characteristic dome and the tower of St Paul’s Pro-Cathedral. And yet Valletta’s skyline is so elegant. Maybe because it hasn’t changed much for the last few hundred years?
