Can someone indicate what is geographic in the following information:

"The city contains several buildings of historic importance, amongst which are St John's Co-Cathedral, formerly the Knights' Conventual Church (alongside Republic Street); Castille Place, the Prime Minister's offices (found on the bastions); the former Grand Master's Palace, now housing the Maltese Parliament and the President's offices (opposite Palace Square along Republic Street); the National Museum of Fine Arts (in South Street); the National Museum of Archeology (Republic Street); and the fortifications themselves, built by the Knights to protect the city from attack. It is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site."

Wouldn't it be better to move to history? Maltesedog 15:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Geography often refers to physical objects and their location, so I can see how that fits with the heading. The paragraph in its current form is simply listing some buildings and their location. Admittedly, it's a poor paragraph, so if you want to rewrite it and integrate it with the History section go ahead. --NormanEinstein 18:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict?

The article Valetta, Malta Tornado claims a date in the 1550s for the tornado. Is this correct? If so, should we include it in the article? --ScienceApologist 18:33, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

1) Valletta is spelled wrongly 2) will check and revert, could be a false article Maltesedog 09:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] fortifications

There is no mention of the fortifications and their history. Very important in the history of warfare. Maybe I can work on this unless someone has more specialized knowledge.Brosi 18:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, that would be nice. A short section would be enough, then other users can expand on that. Marcus1234 19:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buildings in Valletta

We should start short articles on all the palaces, churches, gardens etc in Valletta. I'm surprised there aren't any articles on the GrandMaster's Palace, Castille, and the Anglican Cathedral, for example. Marcus1234 19:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I removed this from the article as it looked terrible under the city info box. Typically articles have one info box to summarize the article. Alan.ca 23:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC) _{Subscript text}
