Mural
White Rock Complex (sometimes referred to as the ghost complex), Pembroke, Malta
My early morning walk yesterday took me to this fascinating spot overlooking the coast of Bahar ic-Caghaq. I have always wondered at it during my previous trips to Malta and this time I made an effort to have a closer look.
These buildings were married quarters for British army personnel until 1979 having been built in the 1960s and subsequently became a holiday complex and accomodation for language students for a period. It has sat in limbo for many years as various proposals for its redevelopment have come to nothing and the complex is deteriorating. It is now known for its graffiti and murals as can be seen from these photos.
