The village of Ħal Safi recently benefited from six restored artefacts located in the streets of the heart of the village through funds from the LESA agency.

These artefacts included is-Salib tad-Dejma, which goes back to the 17th century, as well as five statues and niches; the Immaculate Conception, St. Paul, St. Joseph, the Sorrows and, St. John, which are scattered around the streets of this village.

Various local councils, including Ħal Safi, have been benefiting from additional funds that are being translated into various projects according to the needs of their respective localities and residents.

Meanwhile, the Project Architect, Amanda Degiovanni, explained that the work on these specific Ħal Safi artefacts was vast, due to the fact that both the Salib tad-Dejma and the other five niches and statues showed different levels of deterioration which meant that all interventions were slightly different.

She concluded by saying that among the different ways of deterioration there was chipping of the stone, dirt on the stone, as well as paint, that was done over time.
