Fort Pembroke, Grade 1 military fort in Pembroke, Malta
Fort Pembroke features an elongated hexagonal design with a protective ditch, underground magazines, and garrison quarters positioned along the northern coast of Malta.
The British Empire constructed Fort Pembroke between 1875 and 1878 as part of the Victoria Lines defense system to protect the northern approaches to Malta.
The fort represents a significant example of British military engineering and serves as a testament to Malta's strategic importance in Mediterranean defense.
The fort currently houses the Verdala International School, which relocated to the premises in 1987 and operates under a government lease until 2072.
During World War II, Fort Pembroke functioned as a prisoner-of-war camp specifically designated for captured German military personnel.
