Torri l-Abjad stands today because of a shared belief: that the best way to honour our past is to give it a vibrant future. This is the story of the people, the passion, and the partnerships dedicated to preserving this unique piece of Maltese heritage.
When Torri l-Abjad faced ruin after decades of neglect, Din l-Art Ħelwa, Malta’s National Trust, stepped forward to lead its rescue. As the custodians of the islands’ most precious heritage sites, their mission is to safeguard these treasures for the nation.
The monumental restoration was a testament to collaboration, made possible by the Mellieħa Local Council and the vital support of lead partners, the HSBC Malta Foundation, and other dedicated sponsors. It was their collective vision that brought the tower back from the brink, transforming it from a crumbling relic into a restored masterpiece.
Preservation is an ongoing promise. To ensure Torri l-Abjad can be maintained and enjoyed for generations to come, Din l-Art Ħelwa has formed a sensitive partnership with heritage accommodation specialists, LokalLodging.
This unique model allows the tower to be opened to the public for exclusive stays and private events. Every booking is more than just a visit; it is a direct contribution to the tower’s future. The proceeds generated are fundamental to funding the continued conservation work of Din l-Art Ħelwa, not only for this site but for others across Malta.
