The government plans to invest around €400,000 to renovate Ġnien il-Gardjola in Senglea and improve access to the historic public garden overlooking the Grand Harbour.
Local Government and Public Works Minister Alison Zerafa Civelli announced the project alongside architect Nadia Gatt, director general of the Community Projects Division, and Senglea mayor Clive Pulis.
The Public Works Department will replace paving, kerbs and planters. The plans include new planters with seating, improved lighting and upgraded CCTV, as well as more accessible entrances and paths.
The ministry said the work was designed to preserve the garden’s historic character and environmental value. The project will retain all existing trees.
Zerafa Civelli said the project forms part of the department’s investment in public spaces in partnership with local councils. Pulis said the garden should continue to serve residents and reflect Senglea’s heritage.
