| Abstract: | This article explores the history and significance of the principal forts of Malta and Gozo, built between 1535 and 1940. It discusses the transition of these fortifications from key military structures to their current state, with some well-preserved while others have deteriorated or been repurposed. The article highlights specific forts, such as Fort St. Elmo, Fort Manoel, and Fort Rinella, describing their architectural and historical importance. The overall theme reflects on the changing role of these fortifications and the challenges of preservation. |
