Fawwara Gate, Neoclassical arch in Gżira, Malta.
The limestone arch incorporates symmetrical design elements with decorative carvings and a central passageway beneath the main structure.
The Testaferrata family commissioned this commemorative arch in 1796 to mark the construction of a principal road connecting Msida to Sliema.
The gate displays the Testaferrata family coat of arms and stands as a grade 1 national monument recognized by Malta's Environment and Planning Authority.
Located next to Muscat Motors car showroom, the gate remains accessible throughout the day for visitors exploring the streets of Gżira.
Following years of deterioration, a 2013 restoration project preserved the structure while maintaining its position on private commercial property.
