Large Scale Topography Buildings

APIExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇲🇹Malta

An object-oriented geospatial database covering the Maltese Islands, focusing on structures and other features that sit upon the earth's surface, such as buildings. It is published and maintained by the Planning Authority of Malta as part of its large-scale topography data holdings, providing detailed spatial representation of built structures for use in mapping, planning, and analysis at a national level. The API offers free access without authentication.An object oriented geospatial database of the Maltese Islands. This dataset reflects structures and other features which sit upon the earth, such as buildings.
