"The main set for the Colosseum in both Gladiator films. The fort's existing limestone walls helped create a realistic backdrop for ancient Rome."

Magnificent place, historic, but main fort area closed to visitors, Malta film studios manage the site now. Still worth a quick visit 👍😊

The Fort is now closed off to the public and impossible to enter which is such a waste as it's beautiful and you can fit almost an entire town inside it. It was used by the British colony as their military barracks and in more recent times, various different films built their film set here in the but not anymore as it's not taken care of and most of the building are slowly crumbling down.

Keep in mind that the fort isn't accessible! Google maps shows you the path but it's blocked!

This Fort is rather less known and is further away from valetta. However, I think it is worth visiting since Troy 2004 was filmed here. Well part of Troy film was filmed here. That was the reason for my visit.

Well this served as the film location for Ridley Scott's film Napoleon, for the Siege of Toulon. I love this place.....
