If military strategy, artillery, and the drama of historical warfare spark your curiosity, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. On Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th March, visitors are invited to step back in time and explore Fort Delimara, one of Malta’s most striking Victorian-era fortifications, located on the rugged coastline of Marsaxlokk.
Built during the height of the British Empire, Fort Delimara played a crucial role in the island’s coastal defence network. Designed to protect strategic sea routes, the fort once housed powerful artillery and cutting-edge military technology of its time. Today, its thick stone walls, underground chambers, and commanding sea views still echo with stories of soldiers, strategy, and survival.
This special weekend offers more than just a guided visit. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to learn about the fort’s military history while also gaining exclusive insight into the ongoing restoration works that are carefully bringing this historic site back to life. From conservation techniques to the challenges of preserving a centuries-old structure, the restoration journey is a story in itself - one that connects the past with the future.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a fan of military architecture, or simply looking for a unique cultural outing, Fort Delimara promises a fascinating and immersive experience. Walk through spaces once alive with military purpose, uncover forgotten stories, and witness firsthand how heritage preservation is ensuring that this remarkable fort continues to stand proudly for generations to come.
