| Abstract: | Fort Ricasoli, built by the Knights of St John in the late 17th century, is the largest fortification in Malta. Along with Fort St Elmo on the other side of Grand Harbour, Fort Ricasoli suffers the brunt of huge waves during the winter months. As a result, parts of the fort have already been lost forever, and the situation gets worse. Maltese heritage NGOs have renewed their calls for the authorities to take immediate action and draw up plans to save Fort Ricasoli, which is not so slowly being eaten up by the sea. |
