I think that when people decide to allow a modern building to be built next to a national monument of great beauty with no regard whatsoever to the site in any way, this can be mentioned and condemned. It is quite neutral to, from a historical appreciation and awareness point of view, to point such a blemish out. The unfinished Japanese hotel on the Marsamxett waterfront is another incredible example, widespread corruption allowed a large ugly building visible for miles around to be constructed right next to the site which is basically their national symbol, Valletta.

Including such information tells the reader something about the site being threatened by development, its present day situation, as is happening elsewhere on the island, and is relevant as such.
