Spencer's Monument Captain Sir Robert Cavendish Spencer (1791-1830), who had a great career in the Royal Navy, became well known in Malta after 1815. He used to live in Valletta, and became known for the receptions he used to give. In 24th November, 1830, The Government Newspaper gave out the news of his death on the frigate Madagascar near Alexandria in 4th November. Spencer was brought to Malta and was buried in a simple tomb in the lower part of St. Michael's Bastion, Valletta, in 12th December, and afterwards the frigate's crew built an obelisk as a remembrance. The design of this monument was made by the architect Gorg Pullicino and was first placed on Kordin in April 1831. It was completed in 14th June. Later, in March 1893, the monument was placed in Blata l-Bajda and the are became known as Spencer Hill.
