Holiday 2024. Malta.
Our 1980s map from our first visit. H71 is our 2024 Hotel. The Grand Hotel Excelsior. Fortifications are shown in black and Fort Manoel is on the other side of the harbour.
View of our own gun embrasure! (gun port in the wall of the bastion).
The rest of the view of the bastion, from our balcony.
Model of Valletta's outer defences. Our hotel replaced the curtain wall running to the bastion bottom right. This was called 'The Quarantine Bastion' where visitors, who had been held in quarantine, over the harbour in Fort Manoel, were first allowed to land and enter the city.
