The construction contract for the visitor centre at Ħaġar Qim amounts to €1.7 million, not including VAT, Education Minister Dolores Cristina said.

She told Labour MP Marlene Pullicino in reply to a parliamentary question that the project for the conservation and presentation of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra was being supported with €4.2 million under the Structural Funds programme for 2004 to 2006.

Besides the construction costs, one had to include €200,000 (not including VAT) payment to architect Walter Hunziker who last April was chosen as the winner of an international competition for the project's design.

Heritage Malta's expenses, particularly salaries, which amounted to €140,000, had to be added.
