Xemxija Sunset

In around 1715, the Order of St. John built Arrias Battery as part of a series of fortifications defending Malta's coastline. It was also called Xemxija Battery since it was on the sunny side of the bay (xemxija means "sunny" in Maltese), and the area around it became known as Xemxija. Foreground image from Tal-Veccja pointing towards the rock formation leading a stunning sunset falling over Xemxija Bay.
