Despite having just been renovated, Mellieha’s historical Red Tower was found to have been vandalised overnight. The NGO Din l-Art Helwa stated on Facebook that extensive damage was done to the Tower along with illegal dumping increased in the surrounding areas. The NGO also stated that due to the pandemic, the closure of the sites has ‘drastically reduced overall income to protect these sites.’
Minister of Tourism Clayton Bartolo also took to Facebook to inform the public that after contact with the NGO, Clean Malta will be intervening to fix up the damage done to the site.
