Restoration works are to be embarked upon on the Senglea bastions with a €500,000 allocation from the European Regional Development Fund, Parliamentary Secretary for EU funds Ian Borg said.

The works, aimed to restore pride to this historical landmark, follow similar works on other fortifications in Valletta and in Vittoriosa.

Dr Borg said the works will be consolidating those parts of the bastions that had been left to deteriorate.

Interventions will also be carried out on the Gardjola, he said.
