Popis:	In February 1715, the 34-year-old French military engineer Charles Francois de Mondion arrived in Malta, as deputy head of French military mission headed by Rene Jacob de Tigne. Having been described to Grand Master Ramon Perellos as a brilliant young military engineer who had studied under the great Vauban, he was to give his opinion regarding the strengthening of the Floriana covered way and glacis and the Santa Margherita outworks. Thus starts the connection with Malta of an architect and military engineer who was to leave his imprint in a number of landmark buildings mostly during the magistracy of Antonio Manoel de Vilhena. Mondion would spend most of his remaining years in Malta where he died in 1633. N/A
