Pembroke Battery, Artillery battery in Pembroke, Malta.
The oval-shaped fortification features underground magazines, surrounding ditches, and a glacis equipped with reinforced concrete gun emplacements for military defense purposes.
The British military constructed this battery between 1897 and 1899 to replace the outdated Armstrong RML armament at Fort Pembroke, which became an ammunition depot.
The remaining structures of Pembroke Battery stand as evidence of British military engineering and defensive strategies implemented across Malta during the 19th century.
Visitors can explore the preserved sections of the battery, including one reinforced concrete semi-circular gun emplacement and various structural elements from the original fortification.
The battery maintained two 9.2-inch Mk X guns mounted en barbette until 1919, when the weapons were removed and the installation ceased its military operations.
