| Abstract: | The author, Leonard Mahoney discusses the urgent need for the reconstruction of the left-hand belfry of St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, emphasizing the architectural and historical importance of restoring the original spires. He supports his argument with evidence from historical engravings and the architectural harmony intended by the original designer, Gerolamo Cassar, highlighting the current structural imbalance and public danger posed by the absence of the spires. |
