Malta 200 Years Ago

Old Photos Around Valletta, Sliema & Gozo

[@joecachia2]

This video only makes you cry. Even 35 years ago Malta was so different. Now its just another Concrete Jungle consumed by greed, lack of discipline and no national pride whatsoever. Very Sad.

I love Malta, it’s unbelievable, history, monuments, fortifications,. Many world changing events throughout history

This is great 👍 Been to Malta over twenty years ago, main island only. Currently have a renewed interest in Malta while reading about Air War over Malta during WWII; hope I can make it one more time😊

Grazzi Hafna Mr. Muscat. A wonderful presentation and beautiful sound track. From a British devotee of Malta.

[@christophermoffitt9044]

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately greed has destroyed Malta.

A labour government have changed Malta from a third world country into a modern one.

[@asiltal-mo4555]

@@miriamfenech9666 The Labour government in Malta has, and always will, drag the country to instability and violence. Ridiculous baseless comments like yours is accurately reflective of the reason we, as a nation, linger behind other European countries.

Nice music God Bless Malta and Charles Muscat

[@joyhursey1480]

Thank you for showing these old images, very interesting and sad how much Malta has changed not all for the better, a lot of the wonderful old character has been spoiled but I suppose that’s progress.

[@josephdeguara6524]

great video as i have been away since 1950 i do appreciate any thing about malta well done viva malta u il maltin

Well done Charles. There are some very rare photos in your collection. Not quite 200 years old though.

[@littleone3611]

Wow such beautiful pictures

Very nice Charles. (I don't know why. But I found it a bit sad). Great Music. Thank you.

same feeling. tnx charles

[@zrieqi58]

I love this video - and the music is fantastic - my sister bought me an LP in the 70's called Karozzin and one of the songs was called It-Tfajla tar-Rdum - I think - fuq l-irdum ta Wied il-Ghasel fejn ihammar il-paprin..... is this from the same folklore music???? I would love to listen to it with Maltese lyrics. It makes me so proud to be Maltese - and homesick!!!!

[@carmelpintly4894]

It was amazing

[@SB-rx8cc]

Beautiful old days

[@oy4273]

It will be much better to combine the same places in the film, it will help to follow the images and recognize them, especially when you were there, because jumping from Gozo to Valletta, to Sliema and so on makes it difficult to follow. .maybe the author will adjust this beautiful historical plot to order? and it would be nice to add all the missing names to the images... Thanks for this work!

[@ghostman5277]

Vast changes and alterations have been done in the span of a hundred years and some for the good and yet those that simply wipe out and away every shred of evidence of the past existence of the originality of the place as it was before isn't a nice prospect for generations to follow.One must always bare it in mind that ancient buildings have and play a significant part in the history of the country and that is to remain proof for the generations to follow.But if there is nothing to bare proof of it's existence than it is a piece of the country's history that has been wiped off and no longer exists. A very nice brief archive of olden times recorded on camera and illustration.Well done.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there, we've been enjoying seeing this old view of Malta, (especially as we film 4k walks and have just filmed Malta too), it's good to see it has faired well and become European capital of culture, thank you for taking the time to add this. Perhaps we could subscribe to each other and share more?

[@mauromarcelli1989]

BELLISSIMO

Great video, as a local councillor in Senglea, it was quite enjoyable seeing also very old photos of our city.

Thank you this video and the music is so awesome, I am so homesick. I want to come home :'(

[@PTBS_Ortega]

I visited Malta and Gozo in 2023 for the first time. This Video shows me, how unique and beautiful these Islands were, many years ago. In present time, its mostly dirty, ugly and overpopulated. Its kind of a shame, what happend to this ancient beauty.

was so emotional watching this.... i feel like we are killing this little Island's character with all this urbanisation that is going on.

Very interesting how so many places like Sliema would be unrecognizable were it not for the subtitles yet others like the road that leads to Rabat has remained unchanged... except for asphalt that is

Much has changed within the span of 200 years and more to come with population expansion and more cars on the roads and more buildings being knocked down and towers replacing them 🇲🇹😔🤷🏻‍♂️

81 Know that once you have rejected the Gospel of your time, it is over for you!!! Your fasts and prayers are abominations! Your zeal, your fruits of Galatians 5:22 are abominations and above all, your Jesus is Satan. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. 82 And when a prophet messenger is preaching, any pastor, teacher, prophet, evangelist or apostle who does not carry his Message is from the devil. You have to be the echo of his Message otherwise it is the devil that you serve. www.philippekacou.org
