Signs In Malta

More signage news from in and around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as it is not only centuries-old grand buildings which one can admire in Valletta, Malta – any visitor who looks for them will find quaint shops and street signs of different epochs that decorate the capital. Many disappeared or were left to deteriorate but some others have been preserved.

In 1998 the Malta Environment and Planning Authority scheduled the only street sign in French in Valletta, a survivor of the short two-year period of the French occupation. The sign is painted on the wall at the corner of Old Theatre Street and Treasury Street. It was covered with a perspex frame in the 1990s to protect it from the elements.

The design guidelines for Urban Conservation Areas (1995), provide that wherever possible, Mepa should protect all cultural features that have acquired heritage value by virtue of their age – over 50 years as stipulated by local law – and/or owing to their history and socio-economic significance, or because they are an integral element of their surroundings.
