Fort Campbell, British coastal fort in Mellieħa, Malta
Fort Campbell spans across the Selmun peninsula with concrete machine gun posts, observation points, and underground facilities facing St Paul's Islands.
The British military constructed Fort Campbell between 1937 and 1938, marking it as the final major fortification built in Malta before World War II.
The fort represents a shift in military architecture, incorporating thin perimeter walls designed to match the natural landscape rather than traditional thick ramparts.
Visitors can reach Fort Campbell by following the road past Selmun Palace for one kilometer, with paths leading to Mistra Bay and salt pans.
The fort contains three searchlight positions along the northern shoreline that were used to monitor naval activities in both Mellieħa and St Paul's Bays.
