In this publication, the author Dr. Stephen C. Spiteri, revises and updates the detailed study on the history of Mgarr ix-Xini Tower.
The tower, which had been left abandoned for many years and had fallen into a sad state of disrepair, was restored and given back much of its original form. The restoration work was carried out by Wirt Għawdex, with the collaboration of the Ministry for Gozo and was funded mainly through a fund raising activity in which people were asked to sponsor ‘a block of stone’.
The newly restored tower was officially inaugurated on July 3, 2009 and is now opened to the public by Wirt Għawdex volunteers.
Cost: €5
