From November 2024 to next May, the Planning Authority (PA) is organising a monthly educational walking tour called Mixja Madwarna centered around exploring the architectural heritage of one of three villages – Attard.
Mixja Madwarna
Exploring Attard's rich architectural heritage
The Planning Authority has been organizing these monthly tours for over a decade—last year focused on Bormla, and in previous years, we explored locations such as Pietà, Floriana, Rabat, Żejtun, Valletta, Qrendi, among others.
During these walks, participants will gain valuable insights into the unique features of Attard, including sites of historical significance such as gardens, chapels, and other fascinating landmarks. Many of these sites are situated within the locality’s Urban Conservation Area (UCA).
Urban Conservation Areas (UCAs) play a vital role in preserving the character and historical value of locations like Attard. These areas are recognized for their special architectural or historical interest, which merits protection and enhancement.
The tour will also highlight projects funded by the Planning Authority through initiatives such as the Irrestawra Darek scheme or the Development Planning Fund within the village. These walks will be led by knowledgeable PA experts who specialize in heritage planning and conservation.
The tours will take place on Sundays from 09:00 hrs to 12:30 hrs on the following dates:
10th November 2024
17th November 2024
1st December 2024
26th January 2025
23rd February 2025
30th March 2025
27th April 2025
