Spencer Monument, Obelisk monument in Blata l-Bajda, Malta
The Spencer Monument stands along the It-Telgha Ta' Spencer road, featuring an obelisk design with local architectural elements from the 19th century.
Built in 1831 by architect Giorgio Pullicino, the monument honors Captain Sir Robert Cavendish Spencer, who died aboard HMS Madagascar in Malta during 1830.
The monument represents the deep connection between Malta and the British Royal Navy during the 19th century through its architectural style and placement.
Located near Portes des Bombes and Sa Maison Gardens, the monument requires approximately 15 minutes to visit and photograph during a walking tour.
Lightning struck the monument in 1975, leading to extensive restoration work to preserve its original architectural characteristics and historical significance.
