Work on the restoration of the façades of St John's Co-Cathedral on Republic, Merchant and Sta Lucia Streets is nearing its conclusion.
Resources Minister George Pullicino, who visited the cathedral this morning, said the Resources Ministry is currently also involved in the rehabilitation of the façades of the Palace, the Library, the Auberge de Castille, Maison Demandols, Liesse Church and the bastions overlooking Barriera Wharf and under the Siege Bell Memorial, all in Valletta.
The Works Division is also embellishing Palace Square.
Architect Jean Frendo from the Works Division explains what the project at St John's involved (see video).

At long last things seem to be going in Valletta and well done for the restorations taking place;it is sheer pleasure seeing those monuments in their true glory.With Piano's plans in the pipeline and other works our capital will regain its title;a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen.
