THE LIMESTONE HERITAGE PARK

Art gallery exhibition space foundation and cultural center

Audiovisual exploration through 20 million years of Maltese history! Above all, it provides an insight into the history, importance and use of the local stone that is so much a part of Malta's charm. The visit is accompanied by an audioguide. You can watch the cutting and working of the famous globigerine and create your own souvenir in the stone you work yourself. Limestone Heritage has recently been renovated and extended as part of a project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. It also organizes Maltese folklore evenings, which are very popular with tourists. Traditional music and a group of dancers enjoy a buffet dinner at a very reasonable price, including transfer.

Sculpture workshops. This museum organizes very interesting cultural-artistic stays for sculpture enthusiasts or professionals wishing to try their hand at sculpting globigerine, the stone found all over the island and used for centuries as the building material for Valletta's palaces, among others. Whether you're here for a short or long stay, you can carve this stone in the company of professional carvers. All in the magnificent setting of a former quarry transformed into a museum. Cafeteria, parking lot. Access for people with reduced mobility.
