That’s a huge beautiful church for such a small island.

Are the rhodos on Malta, too? Remings me of the Rhodos at Port Meirion in Wales.

Good morning LJ. Malta has more churches that bars, the Roman Catholic church has been in control for centuries, although today its influence has been much curtailed.

No not in Malta, rhododendrons are not a Mediterranean flower. I believe they came originally from Tibet. I remember them from my boyhood in England when they almost lined the length our three quarters of a mile driveway.

I also lived in Llandulas, North Wales, not far from Portmarion.
