The Fortress
Builders (The Fortifications Interpretation Centre) was set up by the
Restoration Directorate to help showcase the history and significance of the
rich military architecture heritage of the Maltese islands. It is designed to
introduce visitors, Maltese and foreigners alike, to the extent, variety,
complexity and sophistication of Malta's fortifications as seen within their
proper historical, architectural, technical and military contexts.
The Centre was
established with the co-financing of the European Regional Development Fund and
was opened to the public in early 2013. The Centre is located inside a restored
and imposing sixteenth-century warehouse built during the reign of Grand Master
Hugues Loubenx de Verdalle in St. Mark’s Street, Valletta, and was transferred
to Heritage Malta in 2018.

Centre - Heritage Malta.
