Din l-Art Ħelwa’s first tour for 2017 is taking place on Saturday and will be taking in Għallis Tower at Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq and Wignacourt Tower at St Paul’s Bay.
These tours to heritage sites organised by Malta’s National Trust offer sponsors, members, friends and supporters a unique opportunity to experience the built heritage and the environmental sites which are under the custodianship of Din l-Art Ħelwa and to raise much-needed funds for the maintenance of these sites.
Saturday’s tour will be guided by volunteer Martin Vella. Participation is against a per-paid donation of €10 and is on a first-come, first-served basis. The tour will depart from the Msida Bastions Historic Gardens at 9am. Transport will be provided to the sites, with the mini-van staying with the group for the duration of the tour. The tour is expected to end at around 12.30pm, with transport back to the gardens provided.
