The photo shows Triton Fountain in 1959 which resonated with historical significance, offering a glimpse into Malta’s past, specifically the capital city.

Through the generous donation of Ernie Miller’s son, Barry, the National Archives of Malta continues to reveal the rich tapestry of the nation’s heritage.

What a gem!
