Il termine gallarjia si presume essere di origine italiana e derivante dalla parola galleria che significa passaggio coperto. Questi balconi comperti sono considerati discendenti e derivanti da un elemento dell'architettura tipica del mondo islamico: la mashrabiya. Una sorta di bovindo sporgente costruito in legno intagliato e a volte impreziosito da vetrate situato ai piani superiori degli edifici.Questo elemento tipico dell'architettura vernacolare maltese si diffuse in particolare a La Valletta e nelle Tre Città nel XVIII secolo, parallelamente alla diffusione dello stile barocco. Si ritiene che il primo esempio di gallarjia a La Valletta risalga intorno all'anno 1675 con il balcone coperto che circonda l'angolo della Old Theatre Street del Palazzo del Gran Maestro. Secondo la descrizione di Sieur de Bachelier si tratta di “un balcone coperto di vetro che unisce tutte le stanze di un lato dell'edificio ” e permetteva al Gran Maestro Nicholas Cottoner di passeggiare sul suo camminamento coperto ed osservare, senza essere visto, tutto quello che accadeva nelle due piazze vicine al suo palazzo.

The title intrigued me and so I opened it. The caption is very interesting and allows you to learn new things while giving a nice sense to the shot. Good color management.
