The restored maritime painting scheme of the Delimara Lighthouse, with its striking black and white stripes, welcomes visitors who frequent the Delimara peninsula popular for its beaches, trekking and cycling trails. Its cliff edge location makes it an iconic landmark, visible from both land and sea. The lighthouse, built in 1856 to guide maritime traffic safely to Valletta’s harbours has two converted apartments, perfect for heritage breaks and each accommodates five persons. The lighthouse has proved very popular during the pandemic as it offers families isolated spaces and open air. Any income from rentals is dedicated entirely to the upkeep and restoration of the Lighthouse. The project, completed by Din l-Art Ħelwa in 2020, was made possible due to funding from the Xlokk Local Action Group Foundation for restoration of cultural assets in rural areas in the south of Malta as part of the European Agricultural Rural Development Fund, with cofunding from the Ministry for Education and Employment, the Parliamentary Secretariat for Sports, Recreation and Voluntary Organisations, and the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector. The interiors of the Lighthouse and its lantern were restored with the support of GasanMamo Insurance Ltd.
