A photo shared by Alfred Pace onto the Facebook group ‘Valletta Photos’ gives us a glimpse of 1932 Malta!

The shot shows a very busy Zachary Street in Valletta.

One can spot a series of different shops alongside this characteristic Valletta street.

Some kind of activity or event must have been going on as there are many cars parked alongside the street and this was quite unusual for a typical day in Valletta. Some in the comments suggested that there might have been an opera taking place.

In fact, if you look closely and zoom in you can even spot the Royal Opera House in the background. This was before it was extensively destroyed during the aerial bombardments of World War II.

The shot was likely taken from St John’s Co-Cathedral and showcases the view in front of the impressive landmark.
