The Meditation Garden at Dar Il-Ħanin Samaritan(House of the Merciful Samaritan)in Santa Venera Malta,designed by the acclaimed local architect Richard England,is situated next to one of his previous projects:a retirement home for members of the lay Society of Christian Doctrine M.U.S.E.U.M.This project was envisioned as a tranquil space for solace and prayer for the society’s elderly residents.During the day, the garden's architectural features are animated by the playful dance of light and shadow.At night,elegant lighting transforms the area into a dreamy nocturnal landscape.
