Valletta Waterfront, Harbor promenade in Floriana, Malta

The waterfront features three main structures including a central church flanked by the Pinto Stores and Forni Stores along the Grand Harbour.

The construction began in 1727 under Grand Master Vilhena, with additional substantial buildings added in 1752 by architect Andrea Belli.

Each warehouse door displays specific colors indicating its historical purpose: blue for fish, green for produce, yellow for wheat, red for wine.

The promenade contains twelve restaurants, multiple retail establishments, and functions as a primary terminal for cruise ships visiting Malta.

The Forni Stores operated as the first British naval bakeries on the island until 1844 before transforming into a modern cruise passenger terminal.
