Doors of Malta
While I sort through the hundreds of photos from our recent trip to Malta I’m sharing a few posts with snapshots of generic themes that I like to look out for. Doors are a favourite with many people and Malta has some wonderful examples: from the beautifully maintained, as in the header photo, to the completely dilapidated. Many also have marvellous door knockers and / or religious icons alongside and I’ve included some of them too.
Here follows a set of thematic galleries. Locations are in the captions which can be accessed by clicking on any image.
That turned out to be a bigger collection than I expected! One final (shorter) theme to come then I will be ready to write about our walks.
The Glasgow Gallivanter 
I remember photographing that first elegant building in Mdina, and I suspect a few of these other doors too 🙂 I’m intrigued by the ‘Economical Grocery’ and also by ‘Boom Defence’!

What a great idea. Love the geometric lines, primary colours and small flashes of ornate design.

They really know how to do a door! Some of the older streets round us have some nice ones, but nothing like this.

A fabulous collection of doors Anabel (you’re tempting me to do something similar myself when I’m next in Manchester). The psychedelic ones look great and I do like the yellow one – yellow is such a sunny, happy colour and the seahorse knocker looks cute. Favourites are the red ones though.

Funny how the yellow divides people! I like the red ones best too – our own door is red though much plainer than these. I was sure red would be the most common colour but that seems to be green.

What a brilliant collection, Anabel! Pleased to see you included a couple of dilapidated ones! And love the seahorse on the yellow!

How could I resist, Sue? You have taught me the attractions of dilapidation. In just a few comments it seems the yellow door is proving divisive!

So pleased that I have taught you not to overlook dilapidation!

I like them all but the level of close up detail in the psychedelic doors is exceptional. Must have taken ages to create them… and very expensive. Bob. BSS.

They are amazing, aren’t they? I have never seen anythIng quite like them. They are next door on a small, narrow street so the occupants must have collaborated.

You’ve gone to town here. These are fabulous. Except for the yellow door. There’s one not far from here, and it just looks … wrong

Yellow is very uncommon for a door. I can only think of one locally, and it’s much paler than this one. I loved the seahorse door knocker.

Ah. Now knockers are a different story. They’re usually of greater interest.

Some fabulous doors! I do like the solitary yellow one. Were you tempted to open the ones that might have been businesses? Anyway, a great collection.

Interestingly, Margaret who commented immediately after you picked out the yellow door as the only one she didn’t like! They are certainly uncommon. Those ex? business doors looked very firmly shut.
