Din l-Art Ħelwa has commissioned experts to start works on the conservation of the vault paintings of Valletta’s first church dedicated to Our Lady of Victory.

They will also work on the restoration of the ground floor perimeter walls and uncover their murals, endow the historic crypt with a dignified access and reinstate the 18th century organ.

DLĦ executive president Simone Mizzi welcomed the financial support from the planning authority to the tune of €85,000 and said that this would go towards installing a modern, environment-friendly lighting system and CCTV.

The Knights of Malta bestowed importance on this church by making it a parish church of the Order in 1617.
