Wonderful restoration at Fort Manoel

I would like to congratulate all those involved in the restoration of Fort Manoel.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this truly magnificent place during the open weekend. I thought the wonderfully restored church of St Anthony of Padua, with the sublime music playing inside, was simply superb. I hope it will be re-consecrated one day.

A final fitting gesture to this immense restoration project would be to create a replica of the beautiful monument of Grand Master de Vilhena (currently in Floriana), who was the fort's benefactor. This replica can be placed where the original stood at the centre of the square (see picture).

Once again well done Midi and we'll look forward to the next open day!
