In 1992 the Delimara Power Station was constructed in the southeast of Malta. To build the power station, the Marsaxlokk saline marshland was mostly destroyed, now only remnants are left. In fact the place was built on seawater and reclaimed land. Pillars of concrete and iron were placed in the seabed to hold the structure.
