Γρήγορα στοιχεία: Mighty limestone walls bear witness to over 4,000 years of continuous military use. During the Great Siege of 1565, Grand Master Jean de La Valette and his knights held their ground against an overwhelming Ottoman force from here.
Αξιοσημείωτα: Between the stones of the outer walls, Ottoman cannonballs from 1565 are still lodged, visible reminders of the siege's intensity. Underground lies a network of secret passages where knights could move unseen between the fortifications.
