Inauguration of Xewkija Square
 |
|
A completely new look for the square in Xewkija was inaugurated on Friday 4th October, through a one million euro project carried out by the Ministry for Gozo. Pjazza San Ġwann Battista has been designed in a way which allows attention to remain focused on the locality’s majestic church, and with part of the square reserved for the people. Over a seven-month span the square underwent a complete overhaul, with all services and cables being transferred underground for a better aesthetic appearance. Traffic has been better organised so that it will not occupy all the space within the square, which now includes a pedestrian area for the better benefit of the community.
