A Hidden Corner of Old Malta

Birgu’s one of those places that has stood still for many years. It kind of feels like it’s holding its breath. If you can come away from the main path and narrow roads, you’ll find these little pockets that are really quiet. I bet the streets are filled with stories. As I was walking through one of these narrow streets, soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying the rich history, I came to this corner. It was one of those times where everything just felt… right.

The Maltese limestone in the afternoon light, and those bold blue doors popped out like they were painted just yesterday. There were plants in every available space. They were on the steps, under windows, and tucked beside doorways. It gave the alley a proper homely feel. It wasn’t staged, it wasn’t polished; it was just naturally beautiful in a way you rarely find.

I was completely drawn in by everything. It felt “real”, not touristy. From curved balcony rails to the way the shadows softened every edge and plants tucked into every corner.. It’s the kind of scene that’s easy to miss if you’re rushing, but impossible to forget once you’ve seen it.

This print brings together everything that makes Malta special—weathered textures, striking colour contrasts, and that slow, sunlit charm you only get in the quiet corners of old towns. Captured in Birgu, one of the island’s most historic spots, it offers a glimpse into everyday beauty—somewhere between lived-in and picture-perfect. Ideal for lovers of Mediterranean character, street photography, or anyone wanting a calming, character-rich print for their space.

Prints

This photo is available in a range of sizes, as a print on Fujicolor Professional DP II Lustre photographic paper. This paper has a semi-matte finish that enhances the colours and details of the photo, while also providing excellent resistance to fading and fingerprints.

Canvas

Framed with 100% solid pine, my canvases are hand stretched for a professional and durable finish. A canvas will give your photo a more textured and artistic look, as well as a gallery-style appearance.

Glass

Crafted on UK Pilkington glass offering exceptional durability and clarity, my work really shines on this medium. Each photo is UV printed to the glass, giving you a vibrant and vivid result.

Important Information

Cropping

Please note that some cropping may occur depending on the size you choose for your photo. This is because different sizes have different aspect ratios, which affect how the photo fits on the paper, canvas or glass. I will try to preserve as much of the original photo as possible, but some edges may be cut off to avoid distortion or blank spaces, or to accomodate the chosen size.

Colour Reproduction

Also, please be aware that colours may vary from what you see on your screen to what you receive in print. This is because different screens have different settings and calibrations, which affect how colours are displayed. Additionally, printing techniques and materials may also cause some slight differences in colour reproduction and saturation. The labs I print with use high-quality printers and papers to ensure that the photo looks as close to the original as possible, but some minor variations are inevitable and normal. If you have any questions or concerns about the colours of your photo, please contact me before you place your order.

Returns and Refunds

Due to the nature of my products, I do not offer refunds or returns after the sale. However, I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. If your order arrives damaged in transit, please contact me immediately with a photo of the damaged item. I will replace the damaged item at no additional cost to you. Please note: I cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

I hope you enjoy your photo and thank you for choosing SRB Photos.
