Malta Doors

Image • • Anita

Have you ever thought about how many doors there are?
Doors can really look different depending on where in the world you are.

I’m from Sweden, live in Malta and will soon move to Cyprus after twenty years on this small Mediterranean island. Here I have chosen to show a selection of traditional Maltese doors.
Hope you enjoy!
  • Colorful red and a small extra door.
  • Here you also see one of the typical Maltese balconies.
  • A garage door.
  • Pillars can look magnificent,
    at least as long they are well maintained.
  • Yes, here we put our garbage bags outside the door for collection. Some days for plastic and paper and some days for organic.
  • Both the wooden door and the stone wall are old and worn.
    Someone has left food and water for the cats.
  • I guess someone from Sweden lives here.
    They have named their house “Blå Dörren”
    which means the blue door.
  • Blue doors are quite common.
    Of course, the shutters have the same color.

This post was inspired by a challenge hosted by Dan.

    1. Thank you so much Manja for encouraging me to take part in this fun photo challenge. 💚There will certainly be more posts with doors and I look forward to explore the typically Cypriot ones 😁

  2. I love those stunning blue doors. Thank you for sharing them (thanks Manja) with us at Thursday Doors.

    All these doors are beautiful, but that first photo, the gate and the lovely scene behind it, is my favorite.

  6. Tackar för dessa fina dörrar från Malta. Nästa symboliskt, du stänger dörren för Malta och öppnar en ny dörr i Cypern. Där finns förresten också mycket blått i form av dörrar och fönsterramar.
    Det skulle vara intressant att läsa varför ni valde just Cypern som er nya hemadress. Kan tänka mig att språket spelade roll, för precis som på Malta pratar alla engelska på Cypern. Klimatet är ungefär detsamma också…

    1. Tack! Den symboliken tänkte jag faktiskt inte på men den är ju sann :))
      Ja, varför just Cypern? Språket, klimatet, vänstertrafik men framförallt att avsluta ett kapitel och börja ett nytt.

  7. Oh, I love every single thing about this post! The first shot at the top is striking in its simplicity and the stark contrast between the door color and the white walls. I’ve never been to Malta or Cyprus, but I’d love to go some day.

  11. Underbara dörrar! Vågar knappt tänka på dem jag ser här. Kan inte välja en favorit. De är alla vackra. Hela Malta är ett hav av färg. Tycker så mycket om det.
    Ska bli spännande vad du kommer att visa oss efter flytten.

  15. Lovely pictures … I remember how eagerly we’ve taken photo’s of all the beautiful (and interesting) doors (and door knobs) when visiting Malta! Love the blue doors and that stunning traditional Maltese balcony.
    Good luck with your move to Cyprus – exciting times ahead!
