Corradino Lines, Fortified line in Paola, Malta
The Corradino Lines feature a V-shaped polygonal structure with surrounding ditches that connect the Cottonera Lines to the Ras Ħanżir polverista military installation.
British Royal Engineers constructed these fortifications in 1871 to protect the Malta Dockyard expansion into French Creek from potential enemy attacks.
The transformation of these military fortifications reflects the evolution of Malta's defense requirements throughout different periods of Mediterranean conflicts.
The fortification structures remain partially visible among factory buildings in what has become an industrial zone near the town of Paola.
The construction of these fortifications cost £17634 and included positions for two RML 64-pound guns to defend the strategic Corradino Heights.
