Eager to do its part for Maltese heritage, last week the Eden Leisure Group organised a clean-up day of the newly renovated Wignacourt Tower in St Paul's Bay.  The Wignacourt Tower is the earliest coastal watch tower still standing in Malta built by Grand Master Wignacourt in 1610. 

Under the supervision of Din L-Art Helwa, who undertook the restoration of the 405-year-old tower, a team of around 20 volunteers from the leisure company washed and dusted all the rooms.  When that was done, the team sanded, varnished and polished various pieces of furniture and exhibits.  In a few short hours, the place was transformed and was left almost ready to be opened to the public.

Kate de Cesare from the Eden Leisure Group stated: "We're very proud to have been able to take part in the final stages of the restoration of the Wignacourt Tower - a gem of a heritage destination that has a rich and exciting history. It was also a wonderful opportunity for our staff to work together in a different environment and also to learn more about our history.  We look forward to working again soon with Din L-Art Helwa on their next project!"
