Heritage Malta is offering the public an exclusive opportunity to explore the historical Fort Delimara, a site that is usually closed to the public.

On Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd April, you will have the chance to be taken on an unforgettable journey through time, where you will learn about the fort's rich history and hear stories about the people who manned it.

Fort Delimara is a polygonal fort in Marsaxlokk, Malta. It was built between 1876 and 1888 by the British as part of a chain of fortifications intended to protect Marsaxlokk Harbour.
