Throwback to the 1960s! Check out this old photo of a Maltese sitting room full of memories
Take a step back in time with this nostalgic peek into a typical 1960s Maltese sitting room. Shared as a black and white throwback photo on the Department of Malta's Facebook page, the scene captures the warmth and charm of a bygone era.
At the heart of the room is the iconic Rediffusion system - an early form of wired radio that became a household staple, filling homes with news, music, and Maltese drama.
Matching upholstered furniture surrounds a modest coffee table, neatly stacked with newspapers, reflecting the daily rhythms of life in mid-20th-century Malta. It's a scene many will instantly recognise, whether from memory or family stories, reminiscing comfort, routine, and community.
More than just a photo, it’s a snapshot of Malta’s cultural heritage, inviting younger generations to explore and appreciate the simplicity and character of Maltese home life in the 1960s.
