Heading to Birgu Fest this weekend? Candlelit magic awaits at Fort St Angelo & the Inquisitor’s Palace
A late-night history lesson by candlelight? Yes please!

Birgu Fest is almost here, and it isn’t just about the streets coming alive – Heritage Malta is adding its own sparkle to the celebrations! This Saturday 11th October, both Fort St Angelo and the Inquisitor’s Palace will be bathed in atmospheric candlelight, creating a truly magical evening experience.

While both sites will close at 4pm, they’ll reopen from 6pm until midnight (last entry at 11.30pm), giving you plenty of time to soak up the history and the ambience under the flickering glow.

Tickets are just €3 for both sites, and Heritage Malta members enjoy free entry.

Will you be there?
