Tourism and Culture Francis Zammit Dimech stressed the responsibility everyone had in preserving Malta's heritage when he launched a book about Palazzo Falson, recently restored by Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti at a cost of Lm800,000.

The event also marked the completion of the restoration project.

The 15th century Palazzo Falson, part of which dates back to the 13th century, was entrusted to Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti by Captain Olaf Fredrick Gollcher.

The book about Palazzo Falson was published by Miranda Publications Dr Zammit Dimech said both the restored Palazzo Falson and the book showing the collections of artistic objects, paintings, silver, oriental carpets and armour were a tourist attraction, especially to those who visited Malta for its culture.
