The Department of Information in Malta recently shared a set of photos on their social media showing 'Then vs Now' in Floriana.

Taken in Floriana’s Market Street during the 1960s, this photo was compared with its present-day counterpart and one can see the massive difference between the two.

The images paint a striking picture of the evolution of urban landscapes and lifestyles over the decades. In the nostalgic snapshots from the 1960s, Market Street exudes a serene charm, adorned with quaint buildings. The absence of bustling traffic allows for a tranquil ambience, reminiscent of a bygone era. Vintage cars gracefully line the streets, adding to the picturesque scene with their classic allure.

Fast forward to the present, Market Street stands transformed, with a noticeable influx of modern vehicles and a busier atmosphere.

This comparison is a reminder of the passage of time and the inevitable changes that accompany progress, while also evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler, quieter days gone by.

Do you remember Floriana looking like this?
