Fort Chambray - island of Gozo - Malta

[ys_melmoth]

Built between 1749 et 1758 by Jacques François de Chambray, knight of the Order of Malta and Governor of Gozo, Fort Chambray became an hospital during the 19th century and a leprosarium between 1937 and 1956 - and is now converted into a luxury residential complex. You can easily find an apartement to rent for your holidays, here - but the most

I can't see the photos; apparently Chrome users cannot see photos from some websites that we used to be able to see here on LJ.

*Sigh* I had to leave Photobucket since they want a fortune for third party hosting, and now, sometimes, I don't know why, Google refuses to share. But it should be better, now ?

Yes! I can see them now!

No pics appear and I'm on firefox

Sorry for that, I should have checked... Can you see it, now ?

[ariss_tenoh]

I can see them. Thank you!

How lovely! But how sad that the cemetery has fallen into ruin. It gives the place a definite melancholy air. I assume the inside is quite modern?

According to the pictures I found (here is the link), it seems quite modern, yes, but quite respectful of the original buildings.

So far it looks nice- definitely modern but not completely out of place (interiors aside!) This is worrying though: "... the Knights Barracks and Polverista will be converted into commercial outlets that include retail, food & beverage and entertainment."

Oh, that's not a good sign at all. :-( I've always preferred the places that can still give one the feel of past ages.
