How Valletta's Unesco-listed skyline was saved
A slim, honey-hued spire and a vast silvery dome dominate the skyline of Malta’s capital, the Unesco-listed city of Valletta. They feature on countless postcards, brochures and guidebook covers. So when fragments of masonry began to drop off the spire, a massive effort was launched to “Save the Valletta Skyline”. It aimed to raise €3 million in three years. “Some €8 million and nearly eight years later,” says committee member Christopher Wicker, “the restoration is complete – at least for now.”
