This is a list of fortifications of Malta.

Contents

Towers

Notes:

  • For privately built towers, see List of fortifications of Malta#Fortified houses and privately built towers.
  • Batteries

    Notes:

  • Batteries located within larger fortifications are not included in the above list unless they are notable in their own right. Such batteries include:
  • De Guiral Battery in Fort Saint Angelo
  • Grunenburgh's Batteries in Fort Saint Angelo, Valletta and Senglea
  • Low Battery in the Cittadella
  • Orsi Battery in Fort Ricasoli
  • Several other batteries within the fortifications of Birgu
  • Anti-aircraft batteries built in World War II are also not included.
  • Notes:

  • Entrenchments were originally planned to be built around the entire coastline of the Maltese Islands. The ones listed here are those of which some remains survive, or which are definitely known to have existed.
  • Lines of fortification

    Notes:

  • The Floriana Lines, Santa Margherita Lines and the Cottonera Lines are also lines of fortification, but they are listed with the walled cities since they are close to settlements.
