The City Lights Cinema is location in part of the balcony of the former 1930’s Capitol Cinema. All of Valletta’s old cinemas have closed, this may be the one with any of the original decor surviving as the rest (Savoy, Embassy, Coliseum and Imperial) have either been completely demolished or totally gutted inside.

Application to demolish is circulating – the council have stated it is an “art deco building, but without merit” and see no reason to retain it.
Another original Odeon soon to go?
