Monument to Francesco Laparelli and Girolamo Cassar, Bronze monument in Valletta, Malta.
The Monument to Francesco Laparelli and Girolamo Cassar stands between the Parliament House and the Royal Opera House ruins, commemorating two master architects.
Francesco Laparelli designed the layout of Valletta after the Great Siege of 1565, while Girolamo Cassar constructed numerous buildings throughout the city.
Artist John Grima created this bronze sculpture in 2016 to represent the fusion between the two architects who shaped Valletta's Renaissance architecture.
The monument serves as an educational landmark for visitors interested in learning about the architectural development of Valletta during the 16th century.
The initiative for this monument came from a historian's letter published in the Times of Malta, highlighting the need to recognize these architects.
