On Sunday, 2nd February, Heritage Malta is inviting you to discover the medieval past of the mesmerising Fost St Angelo in Birgu, one known as Castrum Maris (Castle by the Sea), in a day of engaging medieval re-enactments by the Historical Re-enactment Group of Malta (HRGM).

Visitors will have the unique opportunity to explore Fort St Angelo as it was in the 1400s - not just as a monumental structure, but as a bustling medieval stronghold.
