The LTM Grand Tour - Malta
LTM staff view ongoing restoration works at Manoel Island.
LTM took to the skies in December 2009 for some Maltese architectural heritage and culture in lieu of our usual Christmas party.
27 LTM staff spent 4 days on Malta enjoying the sunshine, great local food and (in the interest of a balanced review) some local beer and wine tasting! The tour included the best of Malta’s historic monuments and buildings, as well as visiting the Malta College for Restoration and College of Arts, Science & Technology (MCAST).
The list of Malta’s heritage sites includes the prehistoric megalithic temples, designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites alongside the City of Valletta and the subterranean Hypogeum. Thankfully, LTMs Building Conservation Trainee, Josef Sant, from Malta was on hand to keep us on track with our busy schedule of visits during our stay!
“A special thank you goes out to all those at Heritage Malta, Malta College of Arts, Science & Technology (MCAST), and the students that have previously taken part in the Leonardo exchange programme with LTM, all of whom made us very welcome!” - Steven Laing, LTM Managing Director.
