A rare opportunity of a guided tour
around Fort Delimara this March
HERITAGE Malta is offering
the public the rare opportuni-
ty of being shown around Fort
Delimara by a guide, on Sunday
13th March. Fort Delimara is a
historical site usually closed to
the public.
There will be eight guided
tours in all. Those starting at
09.00, 11.00, 13.00 and 15.00
will be in Maltese while those
at 10.00, 12.00, 14.00 and 16.00
will be in English.
Fort Delimara was built be-
tween 1876 and 1878 to defend
the approaches
to Marsaxlokk Harbour.
Among other attractions, it
still retains four 38-ton guns in
their original location. Visitors
will also be able to appreciate
recent cleaning and consolida-
tion works and view new areas
which were previously
inaccessible.
Participants are requested
to buy their tickets before-
hand and be by the fort's gate
15 minutes before the start of
their respective tour, wearing
comfortable shoes. Tickets are
available at any Heritage Mal-
ta museum or site, or online
from:https://shop.heritagemal-
ta.org/index.asp?eventid=970.
Ticket prices are €5 for adults
and €1 for children. Admis-
sion is free for Heritage Malta
members but they still need to
pre-book, either at any
Heritage Malta museum or
site or else by sending an email

agemalta.org, including their
membership number.
