Ghajnsielem Local Council inaugurated the newly embellished Apparition Square during a ceremony held on Sunday evening.
Better known as the Pjazza tad-Dehra, the embellishment works consisted of changing the new fountain base from limestone to hard stone, replacement of the paving area into porfido, installation of lawn, restoration of the street furniture, construction of a reservoir and the addition of two wooden bridges. 
Present for the ceremony were among others, the Parliamentary Secretary for the EU Presidency 2017 and EU Funds Ian Borg, Minister for Gozo Dr Anton Refalo and the Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government Stefan Buontempo.
The square, situated in the historic area of the village, benefited from €125,000 in EU grants financed by the European Agriculture Funds for Rural Development (EAFRD) under measure 413.4: Quality of life – Action: Landscaping. 
The Sbandieratori di Noto, the well-known flag throwers group from Sicily provided the entertainment for those present, There was also traditional Maltese food available, as well as Maltese games for children.
This project complements the 'Ghajn tal-Hasselin' [1] (washers' spring) monument which was inaugurated in February last year.
