The bastions that form the citadel in Gozo are to be extensively restored in a project partly funded by the European Union, Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono and Resources Minister George Pullicino said today.

The rehabilitation will form part of a €36 million programme for the rehabilitation of bastions in Malta and Gozo over several years.

Mrs Debono said this would be the biggest restoration project of its kind on the Victoria bastions.

Mr Pullicino said the government also intends to set up a Fortifications Interpretation Centre to better explain the fortifications.
