3, Triq ix-Xatt, Historical building in Marsaskala, Malta
The nineteenth-century structure at 3 Triq ix-Xatt featured wooden apertures and a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in Marsaskala's waterfront district.
Originally constructed during Malta's Crown Colony period, this vernacular building appeared in photographs from 1885 when Marsaskala was still a small fishing village.
The building stood as an example of traditional Maltese architecture within the Urban Conservation Area until 2018, representing the town's architectural evolution.
Located between Villa Apap Bologna and the main promenade, the site received approval for transformation into a mixed-use development with restaurants and apartments.
Local residents, NGOs, and the Marsaskala Local Council opposed the building's demolition, viewing it as a symbol of Malta's vanishing architectural heritage.
