This historic photograph captures the statue of Saint Andrew, the patron saint of fishermen, prominently positioned at the Xlendi boatyard during the early 1930s. Traditional fishing boats, known as firilli, line the quay, reflecting the area's maritime heritage. In the foreground, two children wade along the shoreline, adding a lively human element to this serene coastal scene. The rugged cliffs provide a striking backdrop, highlighting Xlendi's natural beauty and cultural significance.
