    Christopher Street in Valletta was first named "Strada della Fontana" as a spring or fountain of fresh water was struck in its vicinity whilst a well for the storage of water was being excavated during the building of Valletta. The French Republican Government altered the name to "Rue des Droits de l'Homme". The British Colonial Government then changed the name to "Strada Cristoforo"; Victor F. Denaro, The Houses of Valletta, Malta, 1967.
