Fort Manoel

Nice place for visit, however you are not allowed to enter inside this historical landmark, it’s closed. There were filmed many scenes for films inside. Also you are not allowed to drive till Fort Manoel, no cars allowed after some point at island entrance.

I was just passing by walking the dog and was lucky to find the fort having an open day. Normally it is closed and especially from the back it looks run down. From the inside you can see this enormous square with a lot of buildings around it, officer houses, a chapel and munition warehouse with a suberb sight over the bay between Valetta and Sliema. They are renovating it and on this open day they had people dressed up in 16th century clothing. Really interesting

Date of Visit: 22 Nov 2024 AM. Fort entrance blocked by fences and security booth at entrance to fort is dishevelled and unused/unmanned. Only option is to walk to the Sliema side of the island for the views of Sliema and Valetta, which are really good.

Went there yesterday, closed because they're setting up to film Gladiator 2 inside the fort so you couldn't get access, you can still walk around the island. Nice views around and plenty of areas to sit down.

Unfortunatelly it's closed and you can only see few parts of it. Other than that the saved architecture looks nice but not worth walking to it.

Closed down by what looks like some mafia operation. The security guards at the gate don't speak English and are unable to explain. The entire walk way to the fort from the main strip is also super sketch. There is a little detour on the side though if you walked all the way up.

Nice to walk around the building, but it's closed down, and some of the surrounding buildings are in ruins so looks run down

I was disappointed about the abandon of this place. The view is marvellous but the whole place is not suitable for walks and visiting. At each step there are signs of "collapse danger" and there is no sign of rehabilitation of the place. It's a pity because it lost it's beauty.
