Empire Stadium Gzira4653 viewsLater known as The Stadium. Used mostly for football matches (and greyhound racing) and hosted the home matches of the Maltese national football team and also hosted the final of the Maltese Cup. The stadium was able to hold 30,000 spectators and originally opened in 1922. It was notorious for its sandy pitch. It hosted its final game in 1981, being replaced by the modern Ta' Qali Stadium.2 commentsPrefect11/02/13 at 13:36deco.rise: Nostalgia. Saw Manchester Utd beat Malta 2-0. 1959...

Ghajn Tuffieha Bay 2012557 viewsSee Prefect's earlier pic of Ghajn Tuffieha and his remark about the steps. Not content with that, last time there we hiked to the small cave to the left just below the summit of the plateau, then on to Gnejna Bay. Believe me, those steps were a killer on the way back!1 commentsIvan08/22/13 at 11:44Prefect: An earlier view from about the same spot.
