Din l-Art Helwa has welcomed the Prime Minister’s announcement that an agreement has been reached with MIDI to bring the Manoel Island and Fort Tigne concessions back into public ownership.

”We commend the Prime Minister and the Government for heeding the strong public outcry and taking this decisive step to safeguard these two historic sites for future generations,” said DLH.

With Fort Tigne now set to be entrusted to Heritage Malta, Din l-Art Helwa, having previously put forward a proposal for its acquisition and restoration, said that it ”stands ready to offer its full support to ensure the fort is repurposed and managed to the highest standards of heritage conservation and that this will be done for public benefit and enjoyment.”
