I balconi di La Valletta - The wooden balconies of Valletta 🇲🇹
The wooden balconies in Valletta, Malta, are called gallarija (or gallariji in the plural) and are a unique historical architectural feature of the city, popularized in the 18th century under the Order of the Knights. These often colorful structures originated in Islamic architecture and served both as private spaces for observing the street without being seen and as decorative elements tied to the local Baroque style.
