Categories & Tags: People
A historical view of the grand entrance to Fort Chambray featuring its imposing limestone gateway adorned with an elaborate coat of arms. A group of people, including uniformed personnel, are seen resting on the bridge leading to the fort, which spans over a deep defensive ditch. Built in the 18th century by the Knights of St John, Fort Chambray was intended to serve as a stronghold for the island. The image captures a moment in time when the fort remained an active military installation, reflecting its strategic importance in Gozo’s history.
