The Superintendence of Cultural Heritage has announced the addition of thirty-seven properties and features to the National Inventory.

In Gozo there are two properties, Dar Manresa Retreat House in Triq Santa Dminka, Victoria and number 5, Triq il-Wileg San Lawrenz.

A number of these properties are already scheduled or else have been proposed for scheduling by the Superintendence within the past three years (ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 3).

The SCH said that these 37 cultural heritage properties and features include private residential buildings of exceptional value.

The Superintendence explained that the National Inventory is separate from the scheduling process of the Planning Authority, wherein the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage is imbued with the authority and duty of curating a National Inventory of cultural heritage property in Malta.

The Superintendence said that it may however recommend properties and features of outsanding cultural heritage value for scheduling to the Planning Authority, which would enshrine them in an additional layer of #protection.

This addition therefore reinforces these properties’ and features’ inherent value as outstanding cultural heritage features that not only merit #recognition in the National Inventory but also their scheduling.

The Superintendence encouraged the public to visit the GIS Interface on its website, which not only serves as a portal of information for all sites located in the National Inventory, but can also easily highlight the latest additions when selecting “Latest Entries” on the lefthand navigator.

The fill list of the latest 37 properties can be found on the Government Gazzette by clicking here.
