Roman wall unearthed at Gozo cathedral

[Viggen]

A Roman wall discovered at the Gozo Cathedral, in Victoria when workers knocked down another wall underneath the sacristy must be covered up again, according to a Malta Planning and Environment Authority enforcement notice, because the work was not approved.

 

The episode is the latest in a series of disputes between the parish priest, Mgr John Vella Gauci, and the authority over construction work at the cathedral.

 

The Roman wall was unearthed when workers knocked down a 100-year-old wall in a room underneath the sacristy. The parish priest had an inkling that the finding was of historical value and called George Azzopardi, who represents Heritage Malta in Gozo.
