dc.description.abstractThe origins of Floriana (1635–1722) The genesis of Floriana is directly related to the consolidation and reinforcement of the military defences of Valletta. The assembly of a large Ottoman fleet in 1633 had fuelled speculation that the Turks were planning an imminent assault on Malta. In May 1635, Pope Urban VIII (1623–1644) had consented to send the military engineer Pietro Paolo Floriani (1585–1638) to Malta to advise the Order of St John on the improvement of the military defences of the island. Floriani arrived in Malta on 1 September 1635, and immediately set-out to inspect and report on the state of the fortifications. [excerpt]en_GB
