Fort Manoel Entrance467 viewsThe 1723 original entrance to Fort Manoel (behind the Lido) on the foreshore of Marsamxett Harbour where restoration has just commenced, the continued presence of the Malta Royal Yacht Club having previously delayed it. The original would have included a moat and drawbridge (where the bike sits), features it is hoped to include in the restoration.
