The Point478 viewsNew shopping mall at Tigne.
At least some attempt has been made to preserve its military origins!

"Also complete is the football ground on top of The Point, which is due to be handed over, after all the legal certification and paperwork is finished, to Sliema Wanderers, as was promised in the Midi contract with the government."
