Over
Korte feiten: 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.
Hoogtepunten: 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.
Insidertips
- Climb up to the roof for panoramic views of the harbor at sunset.
- Explore the underground chambers to feel the cool stone air and the special acoustics.
- Combine the visit with a walk through the narrow medieval streets nearby for a complete experience.
- Check the schedule for cannon firings that often take place on weekends.
