Ponsonby's Column
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ponsonby's Column, also known as Ponsonby's Cenotaph,[2] was a monumental column in Valletta, Malta. It was built in 1838 as a memorial to Major-General Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby, a former Governor of Malta, but it was destroyed by lightning in 1864. Its plinth survived, and is now located near Hastings Gardens.[3]
