“DISINFECTED LETTERS” AT IL-ĦAĠAR

Disinfected Letters @ Il-Ħaġar

The Gozo Philatelic Society has set up a new exhibit in their showcase on level -1 at Il-Ħaġar (Pjazza San Ġorġ – Victoria).

A selection of ten letters marked as disinfected at Manoel Island’s Lazaretto, forming part of the Juncker Melitensia collection donated to the GPS, gives an insight into an interesting – but possibly forgotten – aspect of our social history.

The Museum also hosts an old painting depicting the Raising of Lazarus whose cult is long-established in St George’s Basilica.

Opening hours remain 9am-5pm seven days a week.
