Cambridge Battery, Artillery battery in Sliema, Malta
The Cambridge Battery stretches across 6,300 square meters of coastal land, featuring thick limestone walls and strategic firing positions overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
British military engineers constructed the Cambridge Battery in 1878 at a cost of 18,819 pounds to strengthen the defense network around the Grand Harbor.
The battery represents Malta's military engineering legacy, incorporating local construction techniques with British military architectural standards of the Victorian period.
Visitors can reach the battery site at coordinates 35.909111, 14.509722, with the structure remaining partially intact despite urban development in the surrounding area.
The battery housed a single Armstrong 100-ton gun, which operated for 20 years with restricted firing practice of one shot every three months due to ammunition costs.
