THE FORTRESS BUILDERS

An old building which was a huge warehouse complex built by the Knights of Malta has been transformed in a modern audio visual interactive interpretation centre. The centre has its own conference facility and library where historic text, maps and publications, as well as modern day research works and current scientific field restoration analysis will be found under one roof. Topics covered at the centre include the prehistoric Borg in-Nadur fortified village concept, Punic/Roman remains at Mdina and elsewhere, the Middle Ages Castel a Maris architecture, the vast and complex fortifications of the Order of St. John, early British military forts along the Victoria Lines and the defence facilities of World War II.
