In the report Tarxien Temples To Be Protected By Tent (July 30), Heritage Malta chairman Joe Said was quoted as saying that “this project was of a higher priority than the construction of an interpretation centre at the same site, announced several years ago”.
Further on, the same report informed the readers that: “The Tarxien works are part of a wider project to upgrade the temples and historic sites, including the building of an interpretation centre at Ġgantija.”
May I ask why, what is considered to be “of a higher priority” in the case of Tarxien Temples are not considered as such in the case of Ġgantija Temples?
As far as I know the Ġgantija Temples’ historical value is estimated to be as high as that of the Tarxien Temples. So why not give both temples the same priorities?
I would like to have an answer from the competent authorities.
