Floriana Lines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Floriana Lines are a line of fortification outside the capital city of Malta, Valletta. They were built in the 17th Century during the reign of Grand Master Antoine de Paule, who asked to bring over Italian military engineer Pietro Paolo Floriani for advice on the improvement of the defences of Malta. He designed a new line of fortification outside Valletta, today the town of Floriana.
