only opened in the daytime, this area used to be closed but is open to the public since this year
Newly refurbished the fortification is amazing and great views of Valletta and Sliema
It has nice views and good for swimming and sun bathing near the peaceful landscapes...
Manoel Island juts out into the middle of the harbour just south of Sliema. It's an unusual corner of the city that seems to have resisted modern development just a little better than its compadres on the mainland. For example, there are still steep slopes clad in scrub next to limestone boulders sprayed by the waves of the Med. Crowning the lot are the buildings of the Lazzaretto and Fort Manoel. The first was built in the 1500s as a place to quarantine victims of the Black Death. The second was an addition to the great fortifications of the Knights of St John, and later a British barracks in WWII. Other sights on Manoel Island include the curious Duck Village – for encounters with quacking residents – and the Yacht Yard – for glimpses of expensive catamarans.
