dbo:abstract
  • Villa St Ignatius (Maltese: Villa Sant'Injazju) is a historic villa located in the Balluta area of St Julian's, Malta. It was built in the early 19th century for the English merchant John Watson, and it might be the earliest example of Gothic Revival architecture in the country. The house was converted into a Protestant college in 1846, and it later housed a Jesuit college, which closed down in 1907. It was used as a military hospital in World War I, before being divided into tenements. Its grounds were built up during the 20th century, and the once-imposing villa is now surrounded by apartments and other buildings. Part of the building was controversially demolished in December 2017, violating a court order and attracting widespread condemnation by heritage NGOs and other entities. Plans to demolish the entire villa were made in April 2018, and the fate of the building currently remains unclear. (en)
  • Villa St. Ignatius (malt. Villa Sant'Injazju) – historyczna willa położona na terenie Balluty w St. Julian’s na Malcie. Została zbudowana na początku XIX wieku dla angielskiego kupca Johna Watsona i może być najwcześniejszym przykładem architektury neogotyckiej w tym kraju. W 1846 w budynku zostało umieszczone (ang.), a później mieściło się w nim kolegium jezuickie, zamknięte w 1907. Podczas I wojny światowej był używany jako szpital wojskowy, później zaś podzielono go na apartamenty na wynajem. Teren wokół został zabudowany w XX wieku, i niegdyś imponującą willę dziś otaczają apartamenty i inne budynki. Część budynku została kontrowersyjnie rozebrana w grudniu 2017, co stanowiło naruszenie nakazu sądowego, i spotkało się z powszechnym potępieniem ze strony organizacji pozarządowych zajmujących się ochroną dziedzictwa kulturowego, oraz innych podmiotów. W kwietniu 2018 pojawiły się plany wyburzenia całej willi, a los budynku obecnie pozostaje niejasny. (pl)
