This was the first time an EU project carried out in Malta ever won such an award, making this achievement that much more momentous.

The Regiostars awards are organised annually with the aim of showcasing the best possible projects that have been carried across many EU states through EU funding.

 “This is an honour for all Gozitans and Maltese […] We are committed to continue taking care of our historical heritage, to keep the Citadel in the best possible state and we look forward to earning more honours such as this one”, the Minister for Gozo, Clint Camilleri expressed.

“Thank you to everyone that contributed for us to achieve this success”, he continued.
