The facade and sides of the Auberge de Castille are being restored in a project which has just been taken in hand and should be concluded in 2012.
The works, being carried out by the Restoration Unit of the Works Division, have started on the Merchants' Street side. Work in St Paul Street and then the main facade will follow.
Architect Norbert Gatt told timesofmalta.com that the 16th century auberge had never been properly restored although some work wascarried out after the war.
