the cambridge battery {Fort Cambridge}
Before the Crimean War in 1854, Malta was used as an assembly point for the whole of the
allied fleet. The island became an important staging-point for the British army and navy. The
harbours were full, particularly when the Suez Canal was opened in1869. By 1860, Malta was
being restocked with new and more powerful guns and gun emplacements. After 1866, timber ships
began to be replaced by iron-clad vessels, and so bigger coastal guns were needed to penetrate this
armour-plating. All the barrack and guard rooms had windows which were covered by iron grilles,
through which muskets could be fired. There once was an infantry parapet on the roof. The main gate
was reached only by means of a Guthrie rolling bridge, which could be rolled back into the fort.
Fort Cambridge gets its namefrom its location: the old fort that defended the Sliema
peninsula from the first years of the 19th century until Malta ceased to be a British colony
in 1964. Within the grounds of Fort Cambridge is the Cambridge Battery, a fort built in
the shape of a pentagon in the second half of the 19th century.Once it stood surrounded
by soldiers’ barracks and by the homes of British army officers,built in the Edwardian style
in the early 1900s. Now it is a historical attraction, which is being carefully restored and will
be surrounded by gardens open to the public. The battery once held one of the famous 100-
tonne guns that defended Malta. The other gun is at Fort Rinella,which Fort Cambridge resembles
closely in design. Both Fort Rinella and Fort Cambridge were builtby the British as a reaction to the
unification of Italy in 1871, and the upgrading of the Italian naval fleet.
