The Azure Window was the star of Malta's Mediterranean coast.
The natural sea arch appeared as a backdrop to Hollywood movies and epic TV dramas such as Clash of the Titans (1981) and HBO's Game of Thrones (2011).
So when it collapsed into the sea following a storm in 2017 it was seen as a tragedy, for film and beach lovers alike.
However, the Russian-based architecture firm Svetozar Andreev Studio has come up with a shining new idea to resurrect the island's fallen Maltese star.
