Medieval History
Maltese Bus Operator Arriva has announced it will be collaborating with conservation group Din l-Art ?elwa (DL?) on a project focused on the conservation of the chapel in ?al Millieri, limits of ?urrieq and Mqabba. Arriva?s Commercial Manager Thomas Dimech met with DL? Chief Executive Officer Simone Mizzi, Mr George Mangion Warden and Curator of ?al Millieri Chapel and Ms Maria Grazia Cassar DL? Council Member Responsible for Restoration, at the Chapel, where the sponsorship was officialised during a small ceremony.
?Our national heritage is amongst the most beautiful and diverse in the world, and we all have to play our various parts in safeguarding it for future generations. Even though we have only started operations 8 months ago, as a corporate citizen of the Maltese Islands, Arriva believes it has a duty to help in conserving these gems, that are not only part of our history but indeed among our richest treasures as Maltese citizens. Arriva is extremely glad to be able to support Din l-Art ?elwa on this project and to be associated with the beautiful and quite unique chapel here at ?al Millieri,? said Mr Dimech.
The chapel of the Annunciation is situated in the old village of Casal Millieri, which lies between ?urrieq, Qrendi, Mqabba and Kirkop. This village was first documented in 1419 and its origins date back to Roman and possibly pre-historic times. The chapel was consecrated in around 1480 on the site of an earlier chapel built in the thirteenth century, and is a typical example of a Maltese medieval church.
