The tower is still there, restored, but the stairs in front were removed a few years ago. Inside was used as a telephone exchange for the St Paul's Bay area when the system was still manual. The villas on the right are still there but now are behind high walls. This scene must have been painted from where today there is a parish hall.

Il-pittura tieghi kif interpretajt ta fuqha
My interpretation of the painting above
It-torri fi tmiem is-seklu dsatax
The tower in the late 19th century
Illum mill qrib. Ma tistax tigbed ritratt tal-veduta bhall-pittura ghax illum hemm hafna bini fin-nofs
Close-up today. One cannot take a photo resembling the painting because it's built up all around
