Fortifications of Valletta por Linda DV

Malta.Valletta. The fortifications of Valletta (Maltese: Is-Swar tal-Belt Valletta) are a series of defensive walls and other fortifications which surround the capital city of Valletta, Malta. The first fortification to be built was Fort Saint Elmo in 1552, but the fortifications of the city proper began to be built in 1566 when it was founded by Grand Master Jean de Valette. Modifications were made throughout the following centuries, with the last major addition being Fort Lascaris which was completed in 1856. Most of the fortifications remain largely intact today. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortifications_of_Valletta" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortifications_of_Valletta</a>
