A spokesperson for the Super- intendence of Cultural Heritage told MaltaToday that the agen- cy has not yet carried out any holistic studies on man-made rock pools and other similar features along Malta's coastline. Asked whether there are any plans to schedule these curious features as protected heritage monuments, the spokesperson explained that "scheduling exer- cises always adopt a holistic ap- proach rather than a piecemeal one," indicating that any deci- sion to schedule these features depends on a broader review. Furthermore, like all man- made features over 50 years old, these structures already fall un- der the general protection of the Cultural Heritage Act. Still, while scheduling would be largely symbolic, it could help trigger official interest in their preservation and formally acknowledge their place in Mal- ta's social history. To date, the only study docu- menting the threats facing these structures—commissioned by the Sliema Local Council and carried out by Geotek Servic- es—was published in 2007. Referring specifically to the Qui-Si-Sana baths, the report warned that "the integrity of most of these baths has been damaged by winter storms." It predicted that erosion and coastal retreat would worsen "as more concrete is placed along the coast, thereby reducing coastal friction on wave energy." It also flagged that the baths at Fond Għadir, cut into globige- rina limestone, were rapidly eroding and losing their original shape. The report recommended the construction of submerged off- shore seawalls to protect the rocky coast without altering the natural outcrops. It also noted that several rock excavations of historical value were showing signs of rapid erosion and re- quired urgent protection. And while heritage experts normal- ly regard coastal erosion as an unavoidable historical process in its own right, steps could still be taken to slow the process and to restore some of these relics of 19th-century seaside culture. A Victorian legacy Despite the lack of official recognition, the rock-cut pools have drawn the attention of tourist-oriented websites— many of which wrongly attrib- ute them to Roman times rather than British colonial heritage. Google Earth, for example, still refers to the row of pools at Fond Għadir as "Roman Baths," as do several other websites. However, TripAdvisor now cor- rectly identifies them as "Victo- rian-era baths" and lists them among Sliema's must-see at- tractions. This historical confusion is partly linked to their erosion and deterioration, as noted in an article on sea-level change in Malta published in the Qua- Once the epitome of Victorian seaside prudishness, Malta's rock-cut as well as official indifference. A 2007 report flagged the risks, but plans Heritage in a rock pool: slow erosion for the
