The medieval chapel of Santa Cecilia in Ghajnsielem has been utterly neglected and is in imminent danger of collapse. Some 11 years ago, Din l-Art Helwa requested permission to save and restore this historic building, and also carried out a survey of its condition.
A decision on this issue must be reached promptly and without any further delay, as work must commence before the winter rains set in, to prevent the chapel from being damaged any further, or indeed collapsing.
The Superintendence for Cultural Heritage and the Ghajnsielem local council are aware that the building is in danger of collapse, and have repeatedly requested that action be taken immediately. The Ministry for Gozo has also been informed of the situation.
