Isn't this the scene from "Inception"?

A long time ago, I was shocked by a highly folded street photo on the Internet that looked like "Inception", and it planted a seed in my heart at that time. A seed of desire to go to Malta in the future. It turns out that the photo of the street with a huge slope was taken from this Old Mint Street. 🌈Background Old Mint Street can be said to be the most photographed characteristic old street in the ancient city of Valletta. Mint, translated as mint, originally meant coinage. Because this street was once the site of a coin minting factory during the Knights' period, the name came from this. Although there are many steep streets in the ancient city of Valletta, Old Mint Street is the most distinctive and photogenic one. This long street that can be seen to the end forms a U-shaped slope along the terrain. The Baroque-style dome church standing at the end of the street, as well as the Mediterranean background of blue sky and blue sea in the distance, make almost everyone come here. Visitors to Letta will definitely come here to take the most iconic photo, and then they will truly have been to Malta. 📸Tips for shooting 1️⃣The best angle for taking pictures is standing on the other side where you can see the domed church. 2️⃣Avoid shooting when the light is strong at noon 3️⃣The stone steps on the street are also very easy to photograph. 4️⃣Vehicles are allowed to drive on Old Mint Street, so when taking photos, especially at intersections, you must pay attention to avoid vehicles and not affect traffic. 5️⃣In addition to Mint Street, Valletta has many steep streets that are also very beautiful, and you can see the sea at a glance. 📍Navigation: Old Mint Street 🚗Transportation: If you come to Valletta by bus or taxi, it is recommended to enter from the Son of Poseidon Fountain, which is the main entrance to the old town of Valletta. Then stroll over slowly. ❤️P.S. Please go to my homepage for other attractions and itinerary introductions in Malta
