OKAY, HERE’S THE STORY

Set the scene.

The natural arch known as the Azure Window stood at Dwejra until its collapse in 2017. It was a geological landmark, not a built monument.

Here’s the twist.

Its fallen remains became part of an underwater landscape. Dwejra still has a history and ecology beyond the missing arch.

Why it still matters.

Lost Malta includes nature as well as buildings. Photographs can preserve a viewpoint that later visitors can no longer see in person.
