The proposed Naxxar high-rise will be conspicuously visible from significant viewpoints such as Mdina, competing even with large-scale monuments such as the Mosta Dome
The Superintendence for Cultural Heritage remains gravely concerned at the impact of a 10-storey development in Naxxar on the site of the former trade fair car park, warning that any high development on the Naxxar ridge will “dominate and redefine various views of the island” and visually compete with established landmarks like the Mosta dome.
