Thanks Sami

A mural I saw in St Julian's, when we visited Malta in June 2026.

St Julian's is next to the town where we were staying - Sliema - and is known as the entertainment capital of Malta, with its busy nightlife.

One evening we took a bus and went for after dinner drinks and a walk around the lively town. 

As we walked around I couldn't help noticing a mural in the distance and had to get closer to take photos :)

The mural was painted in a 6 storey high building, at 69 St George's Road, by local artist Micallef Grimaud, aka "Twitch", as per signature in the last photo.

  1. I do like the different native birds, he must've had to get up high on a scaffold to paint them, have a nice week.

  2. Really wonderful dear Sami, we are back from a four week travel to Greece. I had a look to find some murals....and I found some that I will present in my posts in the future. The ones that I have posted now are much less artwork than these ones you posted .
    Have a good time

  4. Wow, size is everything. That looks rather like our kookaburra in the mural.

  5. Wow - is that illuminated or did you do a magic trick? They are very, very beautiful!
    And such a difference, too! Imagine this as windowless, grey wall - how depressing. Yippee to the artist!

    1. I think there must have been a spotlight aimed at the mural. That's what caught my attention
      😀 Thanks Iris.

  6. Oh WOW, dear Sami, that mural featuring a stork, a kingfisher, and (I believe) a hawfinch is truly magnificent and stunning! When we visited Malta back in the day (about 18 years ago), there weren't any murals like that there, as far as I know... I’d love to visit that lovely island again sometime, anyway!
    All the best from Austria 🤗

    1. I didn't see that many recent murals there. The ones at the local beach were quite damaged by the salt air/water, so don't know when they were painted. Thanks Traude.
