The Supreme of Zejtun brought some new guests. Likely from the Captain’s Jack – Black Pearl ship.
thanks to John Scicluna we can watch breathtaking views of the Zonqor area. in Marsaskala (Malta). The film was made from the altitude of approximately 100 meters above the land.
There is small chapel nearby, which recently got named and a road sign was fixed. It looks lovely when you pass on the daily routine walks at different times of the day. Here are some photos from late April 2014. Here is the Google Art page.
Zonqor Battery was built during the British era in 1882 (from the book listed below). It had to defened Marsaskala Bay – but some sources say the cannons were never installed in it.
Right now it is not accesible by usual means. The local farmer made it so, that you can’t really access it. The battery is listed as a Malta’s heritage site, however not much heritage may be left soon, after the site is being used for farming/hunting purposes.
