Lost in.. Kalkara, Malta
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2020
- The small seaside village of Kalkara and is all too often overlooked by people who visit the nearby three walled cities of the Cottonera. Lying just outside and on the furthest side of the Cottonera walls it is in fact quite easy to overlook. Nonetheless Kalkara is an interesting and very picturesque addition to this corner of the island. Kalkara stretches out along the creek in Grand Harbour which bears the village’s name. Originally serving as a summer resort for nearby villages, in time Kalkara grew enough to become a community on its own, with a population which now numbers around three thousand. Kalkara’s distinguishing feature is its long association with the British Navy - best exemplified by two of the town’s notable buildings.

I was "born on the rock" and I "will die on the rock" and yet
Englishman in Malta visits places I have never visited myself!! Amazing - keep walking - take care :)
That what i try to do every video
Very nice comment.
Like
Love Malta History its what brought me there in the first place, coming back next week but just for a week. Took my grandaughter to Malta to stay with my Eldest daughter now with restrictions coming back need to take her back home so no time for sightseeing but loving your page.
Wonderful Thank you take care !!
Thank you Steve for showing us beautiful Kalkara, I posted some pictures on Holiday Malta of the village during festa . Amazing architecture at the fort, so glad that they are restoring it. Thanks again and take care x
Think after a long time at last things are being taken care of over there .thinks for supporting holiday malta
I could move to Kalkara tomorrow , really nice place, i enjoyed the tour very much, thanks for sharing.
Yes its up and coming place now , many new buildings , Think a place for the future
Steve, I've been living in Malta all my life, and many of the places you're showing us, I didn't even know existed. Thanks for taking the time to show these places. I think I should go out more often...
My pleasure! many maltese tell me this ...I love find the unusual in malta
Great video Steve and so good to see a part of the old Royal Naval Hospital Bighi, (Villa Bighi,) is no longer rotting away. They were all such beautiful buildings. I love to go through the old parts of the villages to see the homes that have been restored or rebuilt using many old traditional styles. It is lovely to see building that still screams "Maltese" and not just square and concrete. You can have both styles together with a good architect for the facade.
That's really My idea ..BUT ..It fast changing !!
I can’t understand anyone giving you a thumbs down, after all your hard work making this tour a pleasant experience!!
Lol...susan, takes alsorts in this world , what they do not realise it helps me just as much as a thumbs up !! Up to them
Hi Steve
As I said in a reply weeks ago the longer the videos the better. Keep them coming 42.27mins keep safe Steve 👍
I just make a video , and how ever it works out !!
Always finding interesting places to see and visit 👍❤️❤️
Yes, thank you
Hi , thanks for your excellent quality videos, you must have a good camera.i lived in Malta as a boy, in fact i started school in Verdala infants, my father was in the medical branch of the Royal Navy and was posted to R N H Bighi, one of two Royal Navy hospitals on the island (the other being David Bruce ,Mtarfa)I did stay overnight in Bighi to have a tooth out when i was 7 (1960) great memories down the beach every day when picked up from school at 12:30 .I have visited Malta about 4 times since, and i am still in touch with the family who house was rented by MOD from them, the Sultana family(Zabbar)and now the Michaleff family, Mr michaleff senior, " joey the tailor "made military uniforms in his shop in Kalkara.i will have to look them up again when all this covid is over.cheers again for your interesting walks,stay safe ,Dave.
hey Davis ...Sounds like some interesting memories you have there !! I am now using Gopro 8 Its a super stable camera ...But I still love the sony camera ..The sound is so much better ...More videos on the way ..Thank you for the support . Please keep in touch
Wicked video Steve! I found two tennis rackets round there from 1910 in very good condition..under some sto es protected 😁😎
Oh wow! What happened to you ..Thought we were going to do a video together ?
absolutely love your videos! Like how you keep finding new places. Thank you keeps me going until I can get back to Malta
Glad you like them! more on the way
Great video Steve, that place you got turned away from 😆 was the old Navel hospital, it is a nice building. Steve I recently wrote to the Maltese Government concerning the crappie barriers they have around the new parliament house in Valletta asking if they could remove or replace them with something more fitting the look of the building and I got a reply saying that they will pass on my comment to the house of Representatives 😀 maybe I just got lucky . Cheers 👍👍👍
Yes sometimes i do get an acknowledgment. But thats as far as it goes ..good luck lol 🤣🤣
What a FANTASTIC video, Steve, beautiful area, Villa, Chapel, buildings and monuments were impressive, Joan was lovely. I wouldn't mind living in the area. Will have to visit it on my next stay on the lovely Malta. Thanks Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it Vicky I have another one I just did in that area ..maybe coming up in two weeks time
@@EnglishmaninMalta Great, looking forward to it.
Kalkara is well underrated. I often consider it as a Maltese hidden gem!
I agree with you my friend 👍🏻
It is a hidden part of history with so much to offer and parts neglect over the years
Steve..all the streets are so clean..litter free and no graffiti this was a great visit, Len says it was excellent he really enjoyed the walk. Thank you agai for al your effort. Regards .Sue and Len.
Thank you sue and len !!
Wow, that was worth the wait Steve! What a beautiful pretty place 😍 What a lovely helpful lady Joan was too. Shame you encountered another jobsworth though...☹️ Nice to see they've cleared those bin bags away from Fort Ricasoli since your last visit. Lots of wow factors in this video for me...the MCAST building (the 2 staircases outside and those views! 😍) , Villa Bighi and that little chapel 😍 Oh, and last but not least, your da Vinci t-shirt..Love it! 😍x
Wow ,....you noticed so much ...lol shame about the copyright it hurt the video little lost 500 views on the other video
Wow. So butiful to see..
Thanks steves
My pleasure
On the day I should have been arriving in Malta, the next best thing is sit back with a glass or two of Sicilian red (nearest I could get) and have a look at one of your sunny videos with the rain lashing against the windows here. Kalkara is certainly a handsome place and will be a place to have a look at when folks can finally come back unimpeded.
Glad i can be ot use ...have many more videos on the way
I can't believe how much you got in to one video. You showed us some nice places there Englishman.
Was an extra long today , but missed out the navy cemetery was closed
Great sharing.
Thank you so much
Thank you too
loved this video steve, always liked that area, will be taking a walk around kalkara next time, i always seem to get to the fort st angelo, walk around hidden walkway to kalkara then i take a short cut up some hidden stairs into birgu, and reach the square. im going to have to walk further i think lol x
Sounds Great ...have fun !!
Wow!!!! What a brilliant video 🙌🏼🥰👏🏼😍 I’ve not seen this one before Steve, so glad that I found it! 😃 What a beautiful place Kalkara is! I’m not sure whether I have ever been there before. The view from the MCAST Maritime Institute was nothing short of amazing 🤩 and what a beautiful building! I would love to live in a place like that! I’m off to watch the other videos that you mentioned in this one 🎥 Seeing the beautiful skies and sunshine is making me long to be back in Malta 🇲🇹 PS: I think you could’ve definitely done with packing your Speedos for a dip in the water! 😂
Thank you Rachel ..Glad you are enjoying them
I've been waiting for you to re - post this video so my hubby can finally watch it, I've told him we should visit Kalkara next time we visit Malta. It's so full of history. I'm glad you re - posted it 👍

A great video i will need to go and explore Kalkara next time i am in Malta. Thank you for this video and i really enjoyed it.
You should! it's like the forgotten four city ??
Hey buddy, i'm always amazed at how much you know about all of the locations on your island. like#174
Not too much ...Wish i learn more !!
Great video thanks Steve! Kalkara although not huge has quite alot to offer!
Very true! I was surprised it is quite big can not walk around like valletta
Another great video Steve, I remember driving around Kalkara in 1992 trying to find how to get to Kalkara Creek so we could dive on a wreck there. Its where we met the man that looked after the cleanest public toilets in the world, he had flowers and statues and even decorated mirrors in there, He was a character that i will never forget and have fond memories of him shouting Kalkara, Kalkara with the biggest smile on his face when we asked him it this was Kalkara Creek. I think the wreck was called the Odessa or the Odile or something like that.
Oh...so you have great memories of that area. Would guess there are alsorts in that creek. Pre war time .and even in world war ll
Thanks for the interesting video of kalkara, very nice buildings, shame you couldn’t film the Fort through the gates lol. Hop you get a reply from heritage Malta, tell them you waiting for one. Interesting story about the Arab& Maltese lady, these things happen today too. Wow wonder if that’s true about the Corona vaccine in Oz, we soon know when we hear screams. Lol
Good video Steve
Thank you Keith
Excellent Steve good to wander around there when you said he stuck it in I'd got visions of a big covid syringe !!! All the best classic trucker 😎
Oh...now idea about this. Yes nice area to wonder around
At 01:33 that is me driving in the white Yaris. I recognised you from far away but could not stop to say Hello.
Was i walking?? You live that area ?
@@EnglishmaninMalta I was driving. You were infront of the parish church. Exactly at 01:34 minute in the video you can see my car driving by near the roundabout. I never met you but I could tell it was you. I live in Bighi in one of the goverment buildings that you walked by.
I used to live in Kalkara. That beautiful building beside the church and is where the parish priest lives. As you started going up Triq Rinella you went right past the old Jewish cemetery behind that wall. The old church stood in that whole open area where Joan lives. I used to live right across the street. However the church was bombed and destroyed during the war. Not fire. That monument with the pillar and doves was designed by my ex-partner Ivan Cauchi, and it represents the people of Kalkara who's homes were bombed and/or who were buried under ruble and lost their lives during the war. He also designed the monument beside the marina to commemorate Pope John Paul's visit to Kalkara.
Hello my Friend ...Thanks for the info
Hi "ECC". Like Steve, I must thank you for your interesting additional historical info re Kalkara. Much appreciated 👍. So much to catch on when I move back. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 ©
@@johnabela932 you so welcome...i know i do not get everything right !! But try and share as much as i can love history
@@EnglishmaninMalta Steve, you're doing an "amazing" job🏆 🥉. "History is the sum total of things" which includes "local myths & tales"
We're always happy to participate
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 ©.
I love Malta. As soon as we are allowed I will come to Malta for a holiday
Now thats a good idea David
Nice place....
Thanks for visiting
Good job Steve, when are you going to Birgu, full of history & the streets are so decorated with plants. One guy has a large front court yard which you can’t miss not far from police station so go say g’day he is my uncle Oscar.
Have been many times ?? I have a few videos there ? ruclips.net/video/q5N3tGYM8vk/видео.html also the fort ruclips.net/video/okDfJhlVeP4/видео.html
Hi steve thank's for sharing again how are you then steve hope all is good with you 👍🇲🇹🇲🇹👍
All good Joe ...Just having fun !!
Steve
The term you was looking for in the Army for training is Square Bashing
Lol...thank you John oh..sometimes i just can not think !!
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY! 😂. ( It was) & still is a GOOD vlog of historic quaint Kalkara. Done a few shifts/foot patrols 👮 there, but I never went into that cemetery - thanks for going in Steve and hope you secured 🔐 the gate on exiting👻👻. I'm sure that the now MCAST building used to be the British Navy Admiral's Hq. Also, the then excellent "Bighi Hospital" was the last HM Forces hospital standing on their total withdrawal from Malta. THANKS again Steve. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 ©
It's a great area
Mary 🇦🇺 beautiful 💕💕🇲🇹👍👍👍
Thank you Mary
Beautiful Kalkara Malta 🇲🇹 beautiful village Latin word for Lime kiln Patron Saint Saint Joseph 🎚🕯thanks Steve for taking us Along ♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸2020
Thanks for the info, i found that name out after i edit the video .lthanks for watching
If i remeber correctly from History Lecture at University with Prof. V. Mallia-Milnes(an expert on Knights of Malta) that's how Kalkara got its name, because the knight used to quarry and get their lime from this peninsula during the rebuilding of Birgu, Isla, and Bormla, and the buldig of Valletta as well.
God bless you
Thank you !!
Just finished watching your trip to Kalkara, when you went to that place, and no signs of saying you couldn’t enter, when he told you no photos and filming! some people in Malta can be so rude, he could of taken a different approach in how he spoke to you, some of them need to learn some manners, as l know! Visiting there 10 times!
There are alsorts in this world, but it was a wonderful afternoon
Englishman in Malta There sure is ! Just watched a few of your trips around in TV this afternoon, l miss Malta so much , when l watch you walking through the streets, it’s like lm there also
Had the big gun experience 18 years ago at fort rinnela , enjoyed the cannon exhibition on the field with the Big Bang. My son got to fire a rifle and scared the life out of him.
Yes I heard its nice place never been inside ..Last time I went over it was closed
awesome vlog english man super
Thank you 👍
i COULD IMAGINE the museums full of 1565 armoury AND KNIGHTS SUIT OF ARMOUR
there are many in Valletta
I live next to the English women you talked to in minute 8th of the vid.
Hello Anthony, does she know about video ? Lovely lady . I had a great time over there , beatiful place

Ps - MCAST House for Martine Studies I think was used as the Queens house in The Crown - I will try and find the episode & check
Thank you Ann
Just checked and it’s not the house
Can you give the link for the previous video with the fort
hey ann ..just check i forgot to put in video this a couple of videos this video and the other of tunnels only ruclips.net/video/m4gLh1YLYKk/видео.html Tunnels .. ...ruclips.net/video/oNygh2jZUfw/видео.html
Awesome video very interesting thank you Steve.
Why did the Arab keep the lady in the tunnels? And how did she escape? Poor lady all those rats. Perhaps they chained the Arab to that big chain and throw him in the bay. 😆
Good question! .you can read here www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/court_and_police/81806/abducted_woman_was_imprisoned_in_underground_kalkara_cave_by_husband#.X4CZimgzbyQ
Crickey it was her husband poor women, I hope she's OK now.

Oh...thought i explained that in the video ? But thanks for the info !!
It is so uk that attitude,no signs yet no entry ??
Yes i hate this ..could be just an awkward security officer
