The ERDF project has sought to introduce a
co-ordinated, sustainable, and economic lighting system designed to provide
evening and night-time appreciation of the fortifications of Birgu and its
immediate areas. The lighting project also included Birgu’s intramural and
historic urban fabric and architectural heritage. The project’s aim was to
promote an artistic enhancement and experience of the fortifications, create
safe and pleasant outdoor spaces, and highlight and emphasize important features
such as gateways, cavaliers, sally-ports and historic
buildings.
