Xagħra square embellishment works could eventually lead to hitherto-hidden World War II shelters being opened to the public. The shelters, which were discovered during works on the town square, church parvis and 8 September avenue, have been integrated into designs of the revamped town square with the intention of making them publically accessible in the future, the Gozo Ministry said in a statement. The town square embellishment project, which the ministry said cost close to €1 million, was officially inaugurated by Gozo Minister Anton Refalo and town mayor Joe Cordina. Aside from updating water and electricity infrastructure and repaving the area, unsightly cables hanging off a building opposite the church have been removed. Xagħra church has also benefited, with new parvis lighting and restored parvis balustrades. Town parish priest Carmelo Refalo blessed the square during a public ceremony which many locals attended. Xagħra's square is Malta and Gozo's second-busiest in terms of activities hosted, the ministry noted.
