I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Romans, but look at La Valetta, Malta: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Valletta,+Malta/@35.899060...

La Valetta is a planned fortified city built by Francisco Laparelli[0] for the Order of St John in the 16th century.

Nothing to do with the romans, or with normal maltese city architecture (which is much more organic)
