Heritage Superintendence warns Authority on Ta' Cenc

it says you can't protect each monument in isolation, but have to protect the surrounding environment. Nothing earth shattering about this if we were talking about the UK, but it is here !- hopefully this will stop even more of the plans

Interesting that the Maltese Constitution contains the following principle

'Section 9 [Environment, History, Arts]
The State shall safeguard the landscape and the historical and artistic patrimony of the Nation.'

For anyone who is in Malta in early November, on Nov 2nd there is a field trip around Ta Cenc

http://www.mediterranea.com.mt/2006/events.asp

Dr Trump is the world expert on Maltese archaeology (or atleast the most famous), and it will be fascinating to hear his views on the temples, dolmens and cart ruts. If anyone wants to go, I can arrange tickets. Hopefully the event will not be disrupted by the owner's of Ta Cenc blocking the public right of way, as they did last summer

some negative news

http://www.maltamedia.com/news/2005/ln/article_11883.shtml

why negative ? The hope was that all of Ta Cenc would be included, not the cliff face, which was protected anyway. The EU had told Malta not enough of Ta Cenc was included originally, so they've added a bit that wasn't intended to be developed anyway
