Most tourists to Valletta spend their time visiting the historic buildings inside the fortified upper levels. But if you have some extra time, then walk the 300 foot promenade along the Valletta Waterfront. These buildings were once warehouses for the knights. The color of the door signified the type of merchandise stored inside. An example is this Old Power House. It was an arsenal in the late 17th century, used to store vats of lamp fuel during the 1700s and later became a power station. Current plans are to incorporate it into the city’s cruise terminal.
