| Abstract: | The design and construction of the Floriana fortifications, one of the most extensive and complex works of military architecture carried out by the Hospitaller Knights in the Maltese islands proved to be a lengthy and drawn out affair - a situation borne, primarily, out of the ambitious nature of the undertaking, coupled with a perennially inadequate allocation of resources necessary for the completion of the task, and a host of technical difficulties encountered in adapting the site to the design solutions imposed by the conventions of the bastioned trace. |
