Set the scene.
The monument commemorates Freedom Day, when Britain’s military presence in Malta ended. Its sculptural group contains four bronze figures.
Here’s the twist.
A 2019 conservation project treated those figures and repaired the flag mast, lettering, paving and metal railings around the monument.
Why it still matters.
Look beyond the figures to the whole setting. A commemorative place depends on paths, inscriptions and a flag as well as the artwork that first catches your eye.
