Sea, Walls & Souls: A Social History of Birgu, Bormla and Isla 1530-1630
€45.00
Memories of the past linger in the streets of Birgu, Bormla and Isla, and the lives of those who once walked among us, are far from forgotten. The towns our ancestors once called home remain erect to this day, but their story has yet to be told. Sea, Walls & Souls: A Social History of Birgu,Bormla and Isla 1530-1630 explores real human stories extracted from the repositories of Maltese archives to write the early histories of the three harbour communities. Through these illustrating stories, the book explores themes such as crime, markets, parishes, and local government in the early years of the Order of St John in what are now coined as ‘The Three Cities’.
