Ir-Rabat

L-aħjar li tara din is-sit bil-mozilla, għax bl-internet explorer mhux kollox jiġi fl-ordni tiegħu, jitgerfxu xi affarijiet. Mal-ġenb ta' din il-paġna, taħt l-arloġġ, hemm link li tieħdok fil-paġna minn fejn tkun tista' tniżżel il-mozilla.

Din is-sit ġiet magħmula sabiex toħloq 'awareness' ta' dak li għandna fir-raħal tagħna, jiġifieri l-isbuħija li għandna fir-Rabat li ma napprezzawhx biżżejjed. F'dan is-sit se noħorġu fil-beraħ dak kollu li hu Rabti. Matul l-istorja ġewwa r-Rabat kien hawn diversi personalitajiet li għamlu isem kemm għar-raħal tagħhom kif ukoll għal pajjiżhom. F'dan is-sit se jkun hawn paġna b'informazzjoni dwar dawn in-nies. Se jkun hawn ukoll paġni dwar postijiet ta' interess, il-Knejjes u l-Kappelli li m'aħniex neqsin minnhom. Mal-ġenb ta' kull paġna taraw l-attivitajiet li jkunu għaddejjin bħal per eżempju il-programmi tal-festi u ħafna aktar. Jekk tkunu tridu tħallu xi kumment jew triduna nbiddlu jew inżidu xi ħaġa ħossukhom liberi u jekk tridu tavżawna dwar xi attivita' jew tħallu xi reklam ħallu messaġġ fil-parti 'Ikkummenta', kollox bla ħlas għax l-għan tagħna m'huwiex li nagħmlu qlieħ, iżda li nżommukom aġġornati dwar dak kollu li jkun għaddej. Bażikament l-għan ewlieni ta' dan is-sit huwa li joħroġ dak kollu li huwa Rabti. Dan is-sit ġie maħluq fid-9 ta' Mejju 2009.

Grazzi talli żortu dan is-sit. 

Il-Feniċi semmew biċċa art ftit l-isfel mir-Rabat, 'Il-Fiddien' li tfisser 'Żmien iż-Żebbuġ' u hu maħsub li hawn kienu jgħasru ż-żebbuġ biex jagħluh żejt. Fuq in-naħa l-oħra tar-Rabat insibu l-Imtarfa, għolja arjuża ħafna, li kienet ittieħdet mill-Militar li fuqha nbena sptar. Illum l-Imtarfa hija lokalita' għaliha bil-Kunsill Lokali tagħha u hija wkoll Parroċċa għaliha.

The tree along the Rabat road whose bark is shaped like a crucifix has been removed by workers from the Environment Landscape Consortium. The tree, which has died, is to be placed on a plinth along the same road.

A historic chapel at Tal-Virtù which had been in danger of collapse and had even been used by satanists, has been lovingly restored by a contractor who bought the land on which it lies. The 500-year-old Santa Marija Tal-Virtù chapel on Thursday hosted its first Mass in 70 years - a celebration of a project which has saved it from destruction. Ownership of the chapel passed through the hands of many landowners over generations, but none of them bothered much with it and it eventually became dilapidated. While the stonework deteriorated and gaping fissures developed on its dome, overturned crucifixes were carved in the walls and painted in black over the altar. But the chapel started a new chapter when the parcel of land was bought by contractor Charles Mangion and his family about three years ago. "When I saw the state it was in, I immediately decided to use my resources to restore it to its pristine state. After all, since I work in the field, I could not pass up the opportunity to work on a place with such fascintating architecture," he said. The gaping fissures snaking along the dome and walls have been sealed and painted over in light blue and beige. The altar, which is the original one, has been gilded and adorned with white lace and silverware. Moreover, the crypt, which was used as a place of worship 2,000 years ago, has whitewashed with a mixture or lime and fibre to allow the stone to breath. A statue of Christ the King has been mounted on top of the dome and can be seen over a wide area - the chapel is sited on one of the highest points in Malta. The statue recalls the original which survives at the Seminary nearby. Mr Mangion said his next challenge is to restore the nearby Palazzo Tal-Virtù, which is about 100 years old and is situated on the same land. He is currently awaiting the go-ahead from the planning authority.

L-Awtriċi Pauline Dingli ħarġet it-tieni volum tal-ktieb tagħha fuq ir-Rabat. Huwa ktieb li jittratta dwar dak kollu li jdawwar lir-Rabat. Filwaqt li l-ewwel volum kien jiffoka fuq iċ-ċentru tar-Rabat, it-tieni volum jiffoka aktar fuq l-Imdina, l-Imtarfa u Ħad-Dingli, u areas fil-limiti tar-Rabat bħal m'hija l-Baħrija. Huwa ktieb informattiv u għandu bosta ritratti li jeħduk fil-kwadru ta' dak li tkun qed titkellem dwaru l-awtriċi.
