The Fondazzjoni Porto Salvo u San Duminku has been set up to collect funds and restore the dome of St Dominic’s Church in Valletta.

The project is estimated to cost some €300,000 and will start when enough funds are collected.

The first phase, to cost some €150,000, will include the restoration of the dome and the roof from the outside, to stop the water which was destroying the Cali paintings on the inside from seeping in. This work had to be carried out in summer and is estimated to take about six months.

The restoration of paintings will then be embarked upon and should take about two years to be concluded.

The foundation will be seeking EU funds through the Valletta local council.
