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. For additional information, please contact us at (+365) 2065 5500 or email us at [email protected]. Further updates can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/manoelislandmalta/.
