message: User:Rrobotto has added the following but was removed: Among the features of this building, the Palace's courtyard features a statue which purportedly represents Diana, the pagan goddess of the moon and hunting, and protector of slaves, the plebeians, childbirth and virgin women. The statue lies within a niche crowned with the coat of arms of Grand Master Pinto, and ornate with few symbols, among which two quivers of arrows on either side and pine cones are conspicuous features which are associated with this myth. The goddess stands on a pedestal and holds a knife on her left hand, ready to cut away the lower portion of her vest as if in preparation for the hunt. The statue deviates from classical portrayals since as a goddess of hunting, Diana often wears a short tunic and hunting boots. She is often portrayed holding a bow, and carrying a quiver on her shoulder, accompanied by a deer or hunting dogs.() The crescent moon, sometimes worn as a diadem, is a major attribute of the goddess. The crescent moon was also the symbol associated with the Grand Master Pinto and the statue may have served as a personification of his values. Furthermore, worship of Diana is mentioned in the Bible. In Acts of the Apostles, Ephesian metal smiths who felt threatened by Saint Paul’s preaching of Christianity, jealously rioted in her defense, shouting “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” (Acts 19:28, New English Bible). After the city secretary (γραμματεύς) quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, what person is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the keeper (guardian) of the temple of the great Diana and of her image that fell from heaven ?" (Acts 19:36).
It may be interesting for further research but needs clarification and direct reference to the fountain to be mentioned and described. No need to give excessive details about the goddess -maybe similar to Lady Justice and Prudentia - and then link to main article for further detail.Continentaleurope (talk) 23:01, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Fountain

message: I have just added some information about the building in the lead but requires expansion in the body.Continentaleurope (talk) 00:00, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I just rewrote the article, and included the info you added into the body. I tried to limit the references to books, journals, newspapers and official info from government websites, so I removed a number of sources in the process. Please take a look at the article, and feel free to add any sources or info which I might have removed. Best regards, Xwejnusgozo (talk) 15:38, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

text: Found the source for the church finding on 20 August 1991 by the Glormu Cassar school. The church was inaugurated for the first time in 1760 as said in the source of Bliet u Rhula Maltin. It further says that the church finding and some cells were restored in that year (this is true). Another source I found says the façade was planned to be restored in the 1990s but never materialized from what I see. An important sentence that was removed was the mentioning of the depiction of the coat-of-arms of several knights at the main hall upstairs. It also had a citation. It is the most decorative room at the building and should not go unmentioned. I have taken pictures of the room and clearly appear on it. Thanks again.Continentaleurope (talk) 16:45, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I added some info about the 1990s restoration, the Sala Nobile (I also added one of your pictures of the room in the article) and the fountain. I didn't mention that the chapel was inaugurated in November 1760 since that's the date the whole building was completed. I think the article is almost ready for GA status, I'll nominate it soon.
