MCAST students following courses in masonry heritage skills are working on the restoration of several sites around Malta including St Catherine’s Chapel in Gudja.
MCAST offers courses in construction and heritage skills at various levels ensuring that young people are trained in the maintenance, protection and preservation of heritage sites. One of the ongoing projects is the restoration of the Chapel of St Catherine’s in Gudja, which was built in 1631. The present chapel replaced an older one which was built in 1562. Minister of Education and Employment Owen Bonnici visited the site to observe the students’ ongoing works.
