Named after former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff, the garden restoration cost around €1 million, adding some 9,000 square metres of recreational space to the area.

The garden also includes an underground reservoir which will be used to store rainwater to irrigate the garden’s extensive grounds. It’s restoration has been ongoing since 2017, and we must say, it was worth the wait!
