i agreed with Micallef not Dimech

it traffic johrog mit triq li bhalissa tidhol ghal mosta

hemm hafna nies li jixtiequha hekk... pero jidher li hemm xi awtoritajiet li ma jridux li din isehh!

proposti kien hemm... u hafna hwienet jixtiequha hekk.

The parvis is now complete and it's a monumental beauty, well deserved by the colossal Rotunda in Mosta. Prosit to all those involved especially the workers who performed an excellent job.

Prosit tassew tal-progett taz-zuntier. Fl-ahhar il-Knisja tal-Mosta rega' ghandha iz-zuntier li jixirqilha! Pero' huwa ferm redikolu li it-triq li suppost tidhol lejn il-Knisja tal-Mosta hija triq li tohrog minnha! Ejjew nikkomplimentawha billi ndawwru r-rotta ta' din it-triq Il-Kungress Ewkaristiku u ssir id-dhul lejn il-Mosta li taghti ghal dan it-Tempju Majjestuz. Dan sens komun li mhux komuni!

Prosit kbira lil mostin li se jkollhom zuntier li jixirqilhom hafna. Sfortunatament l-istess xorti ma tmissx lil Imgarrin, li ir rahal taghhom, jinsab vicin il Mosta, li nofs xoghol ghadu sar fuq progett li ilu ghaddej 10 snin. Il Kunsill Lokali ta Mgarr, specjamlemt min ilu hemm ghal dawn l-ahhar snin, imisshom jisthu. Mhux ta b'xejn il kunsill lokali ta mgarr huwa fallut

nitlobkom sabiex taddu taraw dan ix xoghol li sar, u xoghol iehor li jsir ghal festa sabiex tgawdu l-arti u kapacitajiet u il hiliet li ghandna ahna il maltin fejn tidhol arti etc...

dak il hadid mhux imqabbad dirett mal gebla, allura jekk jissadda mhux suppost li jifqa il gebla.

ghaddu arawh mill qrib, waqt il festa tal assunta!!

grazzi - u il festa it tajba lil mostin kollha

Well done to all involved and most of all the Mosta Parish.

But, we at Zejtun all we got for the restoration of the whole church which is estimated to cost €1.4 Million was a misery of €2000 from th Good Cause Fund, the same amount given to upgrade a Long Jump Run-up Path for Malta Amateur Athletics Association.

Mr Pullicino we are still waiting for your promises which more than year ago was made with Zejtun people through our Archpriest, namely to restore St Gregory Church parvis and to allocate 5 persons for the Parish Church Restoration project which has been at a standstill for the last year or so.

May we remind you that we as Zejtun people are not exempted from paying taxes.

This doe not mean that Mosta Parish Church did not deserve the work just done.

prosit tassew lil min ghamel dan ix-xoghol specjalment il-haddiema li jkunu jahdmu go dik ix-xemx kuljum. nahseb li ghangu jkun hemm xi hlas ghat-turisti biex jidhlu jaraw il-knisja u hafna aktar xoghol ta' restawr jista jsir. George Grognet De Vasse ghamel ukoll obelix fil-pjanta tieghu w jekk xi darba jsir il-holma ta' dan l'arkitet tkun kompluta.

Nghid Prosit lil min kien involut fix-xoghol taz-zuntier!!

Ir-Rotunda taghna, mibnija 150 sena ilu, hija gawrha ghan-nazzjon taghna!
Viva Dejjem Santa Marija.

@ M Grima...
This is not private property.
It is a national gem.
I hail from Mosta and proud. But the Rotunda does not belong to us. It belongs to anyone who can admire its beauty, its architecture, its design............its grandeur.
To be from Mosta it's something extra. It's passion and pride.

Id-disinn tal-hadid, ghal min ma jafx, huwa ta George Grognet De Vasse. Progett jixraq ghal-Mosta u l-Mostin, mhux biss, izda ghal-Maltin u l-barranin, li zgur mhux forsi huwa l-iktar post frekwentat mit-turisti li jigu f'pajjizna. Prosit u Grazzi!

Why are our tax's paying for private property?

There should be ballustrades instead of iron railings to match Giorgio Crognet de Vasse design.In time those iron railings will break the expensive stone work!!

Well done to all involved. Now, how about putting four wheels to the cannon which is lying on the left hand side of the newly revamped parvis. It is an eye sore, seeing a cannon without wheels. If it cannot be fitted with wheels,take it away.

This article reminds me of the outstanding backdrop the St Publius church in Floriana provided at the Calleja concert. Our churches are primarily a place of worship, but need to also be appreciated for their aesthetic and artistic value. Government policy to Invest in renovation works is a recognition of the value of our churches and is commendable.

I drive past the Mosta church everyday and I have with interest observed the works unfold with the addition of two fountains. I was unaware that the original plans provided for such fountains on the zuntier.

what! No ribbon-cutting, fanfares, mayors and ministers having their photos taken and marble plaques proclaiming how wonderful they are? Bet that's still to come. Good job done though.

For everyones info
The ministry contributed for the rehab of parvis, the remaimning money is still to be collected from Mosta residents

Prosit ghal dan il-progett sabih u li tlesta fil-hin. Holma tal-Mostin li saret realta'. Il-funtani ghandhom ukoll isebbhu hafna l-post u 'l quddiem jinbidel il-madum. Issa nispera li kulhadd jaghti sehmu u jiehu hsieb biex iz-zuntier ma jitkaghbarx fi ftit snin.

Yes well done to the Resources Ministry on the rehabilitation of this parvis. But I would have preferred to see the natural "Maltese Stone" finish instead of plastering and painting it.

"........according to original designs made in 1860 by architect Giorgio Grognet de Vasse...."

They should have got some 'world class' architect to improve on those designs, like placing it on stilts for example. Or suggesting reopening the hole left by the bomb in the dome to serve as a 'monument'.

prosit tassew, nistieden lil kulhadd biex jitawwal wahda sal festa tal-assunta li se niccelebraw kemm biex jara iz-zuntier kif ukoll it-tezori l-kbar li l-knisja ghandha,...grazzi u prosit

When finished, a picture from a certain elevation would be ideal, but not the Royal Navy this time.!! Well done to the Resources Ministry for the rehabilitation of indeed of one the finest examples of Maltese architecture by architect Giorgio Grognet de Vasse. Well, the Minister is an architect by profession himself :-))
