Unknown

I don't know where the following locations are shot.

Unkown location in Malta.

If I had to guess, the The Dominican Priory in Rabat, but could be almost any church bell in Malta.

Could be a juxtaposition shot, with the lower half: a palace/home, upper half: countryside.

No clue(s).

The two below, in some fort, possibly Fort Ricasoli.
