Noticed these near perfect lines that flow along a rock face in Pembroke. They continue all the way down to the coast but became fainter as they do. Do they have any geological or historical significance and if so how?

either natural weathering and erosion or some abandoned british project since it’s Pembroke
They are possibly natural.
They are cracks. Nothing more, nothing less
Rocks.
What are thoooooooooooooooooooooose???
Not a geologist, but from the little I know those are layers of rock (most maltese rocks were created through sedimentation) that for some (natural/geological) reason (like landslides) end up vertical from horizontal. Due to weathering (edit: or other forces exerted on the rocks) they end up breaking up in near perfect lines down the weakest sedimentation layers. Use google limestone sedimentation and weathering.
Perfectly natural faults in rocks.
They’re from ancient days when architecture in Malta was actually properly regulated
They are the trails left by st Paul’s balls when coming out of the water.
Stone ?
A glitch in the simulation 🙂
