Fort in Marsaxlokk

Wolseley Battery

Wolseley Battery, perched in Delimara near Marsaxlokk, is a fascinating piece of military history built by the British between 1897 and 1899. Although it stands proudly today, it remains off-limits to the public, making it a bit of a hidden treasure. Its proximity to Fort Tas-Silġ adds to the allure, as you can almost feel the echoes of its past. A visit here, even from a distance, offers a unique glimpse into Malta's historical defence architecture and its intriguing colonial past.
