On the shining, polished-granite peak of the pyramid of Amenemhet lll we can read to-day the words: 'Amenemhet looks upon the beauty of the Sun' and, on the other side, 'Higher is the soul of Amenemhet than the height of Orion, and it is united with the underworld. Oswald Spengler, The Decline Of The West, 1918.

It-Tieqa Żerqa, more popularly known as the Azure Window, was an icon of the Maltese islands.

Following a storm in March of 2017, the arch collapsed into the sea, and there was no way to restore it.

However, we have a plan to give this symbol a new life:

The Heart Of Malta is a polygonal architectural form with mirrored steel faces, which will blend into the landscape, and have the same size and proportions as the original limestone arch.

Within this form we have designed over 5,000 square meters of exhibition space laid out over five spiral floors, with a dynamic laser show in which each spiral step represents one thousand years of Maltese history.

"It will be a perfect monument and symbol of the fusion of modernity and nature, of time and history, and a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit."- Svetozar Andreev

"The project objective is to compensate for the loss of the famous Azure Window, and to create a centre of attraction in Dwejra (San Lowrenz, Gozo), a new asset to draw tourists, this time to a new architectural and cultural landmark. We are confident that this project represents an outstanding investment for the future of Malta and Gozo."- Svetozar Andreev
