Santa Marija Cemetery in Xewkija is to be extended, adding another 320 graves in the first phase of development, the Ministry for Gozo said.

It said this would be the first extension since 1992.

The extension will be made at the back of the cemetery and the existing area, which has 780 graves, will be refurbished. The cemetery was built in 1987.
