A series of photos shared by ‘Galea’s Art Studio – Valletta’ shows a Valletta from a time gone by!

The photos were captured by Joseph Galea, the man behind the art studio and they were shared by his son onto their social media page.

One of the photos include a shot, taken in 1963, showing Valletta completely lit up for Christmas as people make their way around the shops, buying all their Christmas presents.

One can see snowflakes, Christmas trees and Christmas Bells all lighting up Valletta’s main streets.

It looks like Christmas lights in Malta’s capital city were already common 60 years ago. Such decorations have been an annual tradition for the past few years that many Christmas lovers look forward to every year.
