Restoration work on the Immaculate Conception statue in Savina Square, Victoria has now been completed.
The Victoria Local Council said that the restoration work was carried out professionally by an expert in the field, Rudolph Cauchi, thanks to the €30,000 in funds secured by the Council from the Ministry for Gozo.
Mayor of Victoria Brian Azzopardi, said that with this restoration, four out of the five statues included in this restoration project have now been completed, ”marking another important step in preserving our historical and artistic heritage.”
