Beautiful sea views and an imposing bell. Every day at noon this bell in Malta rings gravely, its boom resonating over the peaceful waters of Grand Harbour. Once a theatre of war, the harbour’s tranquillity today belies its turbulent past.
During World War II, Malta was subjected to incessant bombing raids, particularly between 1940 and 1943. They brought the island to its knees - its spirit crushed, but never defeated.October 27, 2020
