Timeline of the development of the road through and around Portes Des Bombes and the shifting of the 'Bombes' columns:

(Ref North Bombe on the left as you look towards Valletta, South Bombe on the right).

1721 - Original single arch gate leading on to a lunette that had a narrow entrance through the defensive wall with the Bombes either side.

1868 - The addition of a 2nd arch on the LH side (facing Valletta). South Bombe moved and a central column added. Bombes still attached to the lunette wall but with pedestrian archways cut through.

c1890 - Road widened. Central column removed. Bombes moved further apart and pedestrian archways removed.

c1905 - arches raised to allow trams to get through,

c1925 - Porte separated from the Bastions, lunette demolished, through road taken outside the Porte and the Bombes moved very far apart. North Bombe moved to where it is now and South Bombe moved to stand beside the newly widened road,

after 2000? - south bombe moved to where it is now to allow a new slip road/underpass to be added,
