Description: Aerial photo of the Valletta City Gate. Author unknown. Dated between 1917 and 1926 The Central Bank Building (ex-Vernon Club) does not exist yet. The gardjola at the left hand corner of the bastion in front of what became the Central Bank seems to be missing. The Duke of York Avenue (Triq Gilormu Cassar) does not seem to have been constructed yet. There is also that building to the left of the bastion corner with St James ditch which is now the bus station. Obviously the Phoenicia Hotel does not exist. The statue of Christ the King is there which means that this photo is after 1917 (4 years after the 1913 Congress) and before 1926 when Duke of York Avenue was put in.
