\u20ac8 million investment on 25 restoration projects launched by Kottonera Foundation<\/p>\n
The Kottonera Foundation has launched a programme of restoration works, which include 25 historical sites found across the Kottonera area. <\/p>\n
The programme is an €8 million investment, which according to Minister for the National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government Jose Herrera is an investment to rehabilitate the South. <\/p>\n
“We want to rehabilitate the South, a place of tremendous historical value, historical value which can bring potential tourist attraction,” said the National Heritage Minister. <\/p>\n
Herrera was speaking on Friday outside the Church of St Barbara (tal-Kapuccini) in Kalkara. The Church’s tower had also undergone a phase of restoration, to restore the dials on the tower’s clocks and the red banner around the clocks. <\/p>\n
Herrera emphasised that under his portfolio as Culture Minister he will ensure that history and the environment are given their due importance. <\/p>\n
Glenn Bedingfield, the executive coordinator of the Cottonera Rehabilitation Committee, highlighted that the 25 restoration projects will begin this year and continue into 2021. “I am satisfied to see so many restoration projects doing so well. Kottonera was given to us by our forefathers and it is our responsibility to ensure that the Kottonera of tomorrow is better than the Kottonera of today.”<\/u><\/p>\n
