About this audio guide
This guide to Is-Suq tal-Belt, the covered food market in Valletta, follows Charles Falzon, a butcher whose family sold meat under this iron roof for more than a century, in the winter the hall was about to change hands. It reaches back to the eighteen sixties, when the market went up in prefabricated iron, and to the decades when Valletta stopped shopping here. Best heard standing under the roof trusses, looking up.
