| Abstract: | The article discusses the fortifications of Gozo, particularly Fort Chambray, and the involvement of the Capuchins in its history. It explores the strategic importance of the fortifications in defending the island from invasions and their evolution over time. Additionally, it examines the role of the Capuchin friars, who were granted permission to establish a presence at Fort Chambray. The study provides insight into the intersection of military architecture, religious influence, and the historical development of Gozo. |
