Built by the English, destroyed by the Germans and never re built.
This area in our capital city of Valletta is still empty sometimes used as a parking area sometime used as a cultural scenario but never re built to its original splendour.
Now 65 years later just a few years before Valletta become the City of Culture in Europe there are plans being drawn to do something with this site. One plan is that this area becomes the next parliament of Malta. One thing I personally disagree with for one simple reason. If Valletta will be a city of culture, one should rebuild the Opera house to its glorious past or else something that will embellish the entrance of Valletta.
We already have a parliament and this is the second site as there was another parliament in the pre-war era. I personally think that this site would be re built to accomodate Arts, Theatre and Culture.
