The rehabilitation, restoration and conservation project concerns the villa where Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip resided for periods between 1949 and 1951. The Villa Guardamangia project is expected to take around three years to complete, with costs estimated at just over €12 million. They were accompanied on a tour of the villa by senior members of Heritage Malta’s management. Heritage Malta’s Chief Executive, Noel Zammit, stated that the restoration of Villa Guardamangia reflects Heritage Malta’s commitment to accessibility and ensuring that the public feels truly connected to the country’s cultural heritage. Once restored, Villa Guardamangia, once an address reserved for the privileged few, will become part of the shared patrimony of all.
