칼카라의 명소

Kalkara Essentials

Kalkara is defined by its significant military architecture and maritime heritage overlooking Malta's Grand Harbour. The area features massive fortifications like the 17th-century Fort Ricasoli and the Victorian-era Fort Rinella, which houses the world’s largest muzzle-loading cannon. The village is also home to the former Royal Naval Hospital Bighi complex, now transformed into the Esplora Interactive Science Centre. Along the coastline, the landscape includes scenic viewpoints of the Valletta skyline and the modern choreographed musical fountain at SmartCity.
