This is music to my ears how wonderful Senglea (Isla) being acknowledged, with such a prestigious Award by the European Union Committee of Regions. What a great honor for the whole of Malta and Gozo. This is a boost for the Local Council and all people of this Historical City. I do hope that The Times of Malta would do a feature into the Project that has bought such an award.

I notice that in this article the unconquered city is being referred to as SENGLEA and not as Isla.And this is how it should be. Senglea is its proper name and I can't understand how the decision to call Senglea Isla was taken. I understand that the council left no stone unturned to refer to Senglea by its proper name but as usual the so called experts got their way. in defiance I make it a point to use 'Senglea' and not Isla(!) whenever I refer to the city.

Proset tal-inizjattiva u l-ħidma dedikata. Komplu ibnu fuq dawn is-sisien. Il-kultura mżewqa Maltija jixirqilha ħafna aktar promozzjoni milli tajnieha sa llum. Hija propju eżempju ħaj ta' djalogu interkulturali.
