Here, you will find the largest known Roman anchor in the world, the earliest known ex-voto on the island, the largest ship model belonging to the Order of St. John, the largest collection of cannons on the island, the Napoleonic figurehead of the 110 gun ship HMS Hibernia, a 1950s working marine steam engine, and a collection of more than 60 boats, just to mention a few.
Strategically located on a hillock, at the end of the Birgu peninsula, the formidable Fort St. Angelo dominates the Grand Harbour.
Today, its massive grounds offer spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding harbour and villages. Yet, in the past, this fortress was key in the shaping of Malta’s destiny.
