Fort Saint ElmoPass-by Only
Situated in Valletta and boasting magnificent views of the Grand Harbour, Fort St Elmo is a treasure trove of artefacts, military paraphernalia, and insights into Malta’s rich history. Built by the Knights in 1552 in just four months, this majestic fort bore the brunt of Ottoman arms during the Great Siege of Malta. It also received its fair share of bombardment during World War ll. Within the Fort’s majestic walls is a chapel, the resting place of knights who fought to the death whilst protecting the altar of the Chapel of St. Anne, during the Great Siege. The Fort is also home to the magnificent National War Museum, where one can see the George Cross, as well as aircraft wreckage, weapons, and various military vehicles
VallettaPass-by Only

Grand HarbourPass-by Only
The Grand Harbour also known as the Port of Valletta dates back to prehistoric times circa 3700 BC. Its north west shore is formed by the Sciberras peninsula that divides Grand Harbour from a second parallel natural harbour, Marsamxett Harbour. The south eastern shore of the harbour is formed by a number of inlets and headlands, principally Rinella Creek, Kalkara Creek, Dockyard Creek, and French Creek, which are covered by Kalkara and the Three Cities: Cospicua, Vittoriosa, and Senglea. The Grand Harbour was the base for the Knights of St John for 268 years, and after their departure became a strategic base for the British for a further 170 years. It was the site in the late 16th century of a devastating tornado that killed 600 people and destroyed a shipping armada. The whole area was savagely bombed during the Second Siege of Malta during World War II, as the docks and military installations around the port were legitimate targets for Axis bombers.
