Road towards Marsalforn

This historic photograph shows a quiet rural road leading towards Marsalforn, bordered on both sides by traditional dry‑stone rubble walls. In the foreground, a person is seen pushing a pram along the gently sloping road, casting a long shadow across the surface, which suggests strong sunlight. The setting reflects the traditional Gozitan countryside landscape, where agriculture shaped both the terrain and the layout of roads connecting villages to coastal areas like Marsalforn. Before widespread motorisation, such roads were commonly used by pedestrians and farmers moving between towns and fields, making walking a key part of daily life.
