It seems only apt to touch upon nostalgia on a day like today when the weather is gloomy and we’re wishing it was sunnier! This old photo, depicting the St Julian's area, resurfaced on social media, posted by the St Julian's Malta Facebook page.

The photo shows The Cavalieri Art Hotel area before its renovation. According to comments from people residing in the vicinity of this hotel, this area was previously home to an establishment called Seaville Bar & Restaurant.

The photo also shows an incredibly large public swimming area in which a lot of locals remember enjoying blissful mornings by the beach with their family and friends.

Do you remember St Julian's like this?
