Pel port de Marsamxett / Through Marsamxett Harbour

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

Vista de La Valetta, la capital de Malta, des de Sliema, amb el port de Marsamxett enmig. Aquest és un dels dos ports que encerclen La Valetta, essent l'altre el Grand Harbour o il-Port-il-Kebir. Marsamxett no ha tingut mai tant la mateixa importancia que el seu port "bessó" oriental, no sé perquè, però suposo que no és tant profund o ben protegit dels vents.

 

En tot cas, aquí varem agafar el ferry Sliema-La Valetta. A la esquerra de la imatge és poden veure tant el campanar de la catedral anglicana (St. Katidral ta ’Pawlu) com la inmensa cupola de l'església del Mont Carmel (Madonna tal-Karmnu).

===================================

 

A view of Valletta, the capital of Malta, from Sliema, with Marsamxett Harbor in the middle. This is one of the two harbors that surround Valletta, the other being the Grand Harbor or il-Port-il-Kebir. Marsamxett has never had the same importance as its eastern "twin" harbor, I don't know why, but I guess it's not as deep or well protected from the winds.

 

In any case, this is where we took the Sliema-La Valletta ferry. On the left of the image you can see both the bell tower of the Anglican cathedral (St. Katidral ta ’Pawlu) and the immense dome of the church of Mount Carmel (Madonna tal-Karmnu).
