Notwithstanding its voluntary nature and limited resources, Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna has since it’s very start striven to undertake direct restoration and management of historic monuments and sites. In doing this it has sought to target areas of national heritage importance that was most threatened and least known, as in the case of the rural, industrial and British heritage.
In taking examples of sites from these periods and fields, F.W.A. sought not only to conserve important monuments that otherwise were hopelessly condemned to disappear. It also meant to expose their importance and increase their appreciation, thus ensuring their continued existence. In many ways, this has largely been achieved, especially with the good examples that we have generated through the restoration and good management of sites like Fort Rinella in Kalkara.
Through its own restoration projects, F.W.A. also seeks to promote good conservation practices. Hence, it takes great pains and puts much emphasis on having these restored to the highest possible standard, much in line with recommended international practices and conventions.
