Fort Mosta, British military fort in Mosta, Malta.
Fort Mosta features a pentagonal structure with a central keep, defensive ditches, and an external battery connected through a sally port.
The British military constructed Fort Mosta between 1878 and 1880 as a strategic component of the Victoria Lines defense system across Malta.
The fort grounds contain fourth-century catacombs, reflecting the layers of history present at this military installation site.
The fort operates as an ammunition depot under the Armed Forces of Malta and remains closed to public access for security purposes.
The structure faces ongoing maintenance challenges due to its construction on blue clay, which affects the stability of its foundations.
