The historic countryside niche in the limits of Xewkija, dedicated to Our Lady of Pomegranate, is undergoing restoration works by Wirt Għawdex. The landmark niche has suffered from haphazard over-painting which spoilt the appearance of the niche. Its statue, which is composed of two figures – the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus – has been removed for further restoration. The works are being carried out by restoration workers assigned to Wirt Għawdex by the Gozo Ministry.
