Join us for a special open day at the majestic Fort Manoel on Sunday, 5 May, from 9.30am to 5.30pm. This is a wonderful chance to explore the fort's impressive restoration and enjoy its historical beauty.

For members of the public interested in the history of the fort, we are offering free guided tours in English at 11am and in Maltese at 2pm. Admission to both the fort and the tours is complimentary.

Fort Manoel, a testament to Malta's baroque military architecture, was founded in September 1723 under the stewardship of Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena of the Knights of St John. Restored to its former glory by Midi plc in the early 2000s, the fort has loomed majestically over Marsamxett Harbour for centuries. Its rich history includes serving as an extension of the Lazzaretto Hospital in the 1800s and being christened HMS Phoenicia during the British era.

Ample parking is available on Manoel Island.
