A view from up near the Church bells - Dec 1992


A view of Birzebbuga from up near the Church bells. A long climb of about 100+ steps to get near the church bells. This photo was taken on a Thursday Dec 1992. In the upper picture one can see the two roads that lead dowm to St Georges Bay. The old narrow road on the left and the new road that today carries most of the traffic in and out of the town.
The lower picture one can see the weekly market stalls where sellers provide a large range of goods and food every Thursday morning. Nowadays the market has been relocated to a better location. One can see part of Marsaxlokk Bay. Delimara in the background and part of the Freeport.

* Wied il - Buni ~ Birzebbuga *








Wied il - Buni Birzebbuga. Some years ago it was just a ditch, partly looked after and the rest neglected and used as a dumping place. Finally the people of Birzebbuga and the Local Council people decided to clean up the place. The old ditch was filled up and the ground levelled. After that, work was carried out to renovate and beautify the place. Today it's the number one spot for the locals, the visitors and tourists to spend their time of relaxation by the seaside.
