More Information

Birgu Ditch is a historic site situated between the defensive walls of Birgu, part of the ancient fortifications that once protected Malta’s harbours. Dating back to the Knights of St. John era, this cultural heritage site was reopened in January 2016 following extensive restoration. The site features walkways leading through the impressive walls, with views of a restored casemated battery, a caponier, and an old sally port. Interpretation panels along the path provide valuable insights into the site’s rich history and architecture, including WWII bomb shelters.
