Our Lady of Victory church in Valletta is undergoing a complete restoration by Din l-Art Ħelwa with the help of the Vodafone Malta Foundation.

An interactive information kiosk with touchscreen technology will allow visitors easy access to colourful information on the history of the first building of the capital city and its art treasures.

Other improvements will include a pocket guidebook to the church, audio guides in six languages, pamphlets with a guided tour of the church and display equipment that will supply visitors with additional information on the numerous works of art and religious ephemera found in the church.

The interactive kiosk, programmed by Cyberspace Ltd, was unveiled by the foundation’s chairwoman Ġemma Mifsud Bonnici and blessed by Mgr Anton Galea.

Also in attendance were British High Commissioner Rob Luke, DLĦ president Simone Mizzi as well as other council members.

Ms Mizzi thanked the foundation for making the much needed restoration possible: “The Vodafone Malta Foundation has helped Din l-Art Ħelwa acquire the technological tools required to illustrate and explain the restoration of the artistic and historical gem in Valletta.”

Unveiling the kiosk, Ms Mifsud Bonnici said technology made possible the appreciation of a cultural gem, ensuring it is donewithout detracting from the sanctity of the place and without interrupting church services.
