Fortifications of Birgu

Birgu’s maritime strength is anchored by the medieval Fort Saint Angelo and the massive land-front fortifications designed by the Order of Saint John. This collection includes the Victorian-era Fort Rinella, home to a 100-ton gun, and the sprawling Fort Ricasoli, a frequent cinematic filming location.
