A general view of Senglea from the Marina at Valetta.
A paper calotype negative. A view south-east across Grand Harbour from the marina at Valetta towards Senglea. The entrance to Dockyard Creek is on the left, with the city of Cospicua in the distance. The Gardjola Gardens at Senglea with the Guard Tower ('Il-gardjola') prominent on the bastion is in sunlight. Saint Phillip's Church dominates the skyline of Senglea.
