Valletta – Red Giants of the Grand Harbour

A Photographer’s Perspective on Valletta’s Living Port

Through the lens of Maltese photographer Anton Farrugia, Valletta – Red Giants of the Grand Harbour offers a bold and authentic glimpse into the working life of Malta’s iconic waterfront.

Captured in a moment of stillness, the striking red tankers anchored beneath Valletta’s historic bastions tell a story of contrasts — modern industry and ancient stone, commerce and culture, steel and sea.

The Vision Behind the Image

Capturing the Soul of the Grand Harbour

Anton Farrugia’s vision with this piece was clear: to move beyond the postcard-perfect views of Valletta and reveal its living, breathing heart — the Grand Harbour as a place of purpose and work.

“The Grand Harbour is not just a backdrop for history,” says Farrugia. “It’s alive, filled with motion, sounds, labour, and life. I wanted to capture that essence — not polished, but real.”

The composition invites the viewer to explore layers of Malta’s maritime legacy — from the elegant fortifications to the industrial vessels that drive today’s trade.
