Step back in time with this photograph of Malta's Old Chalet Ghar Id-Dud in Sliema, circa 1920s. Located on the picturesque waterfront of this bustling coastal town, the charming chalet stands as a testament to Malta's rich history. The image showcases the quaint and rustic charm of the Maltese architecture, with its traditional tiled roof and intricate wooden balconies. The chalet's whitewashed walls, adorned with vibrant bougainvillea vines, blend seamlessly with the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea. In the foreground, two horse-drawn carts and a vintage bus add to the scene's nostalgic ambiance, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The bus, a symbol of Malta's growing modernization during the early 20th century, contrasts sharply with the traditional horse-drawn carts, highlighting the island's unique blend of old and new. Ghar Id-Dud, which translates to 'Cave of the Dud,' is believed to have been named after a local fisherman named Dud, who is said to have lived in the cave nearby. Over the years, the chalet has served various purposes, from a private residence to a popular restaurant and tea garden. Today, the Old Chalet Ghar Id-Dud continues to be a beloved landmark in Sliema, attracting both locals and tourists alike. A visit to this iconic site offers a glimpse into Malta's fascinating past, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in the island's history and culture.
