Din l-Art Helwa – National Trust of Malta

Safeguarding our heritage for future generations

Din l-Art Helwa, National Trust of Malta, is a non-governmental, not-for-profit, voluntary organisation founded in 1965 to safeguard the historic, artistic and natural heritage of Malta. Since its foundation, Din l-Art Helwa has restored and managed numerous cultural sites of immense historic and environmental importance.

We promote the preservation and protection of historic buildings and monuments, the character of our towns and villages, and places of natural beauty and importance and the flora and fauna of such places, especially in relation to the problems arising from modern urban development. We stimulate the enforcement of existing laws and the enactment of new ones for the protection of our natural and built heritage.

Din l-Art Helwa appeals for funds

Din l-Art Helwa have launched an appeal to the general public to JOIN THE ‘VICTORY’ TEAM by donating funds to the restoration project for the Church of Our Lady of Victory. This Church is pivotal to the history of Malta being the first building and the first church of Valletta. It is therefore of immense religious and historic significance and contains numerous artistic treasures. Over the centuries the building and its paintings have suffered neglect and damage through water infiltration, grime and inappropriate earlier restoration. Din l-Art Helwa requires substantial funding to restore the church, and to render it and its numerous treasures more accessible. Click here to join the ‘VICTORY TEAM’ and donate to the campaign.
