| Abstract: | This is the latest publication in the online series of ARX Occasional Papers published by Military Architecture.com. In this 208-page study, Dr. Spiteri examines the design and construction of the last of the major bastioned works of fortification built in Malta by the Hospitaller knights of St John. This Baroque fortress was designed by French military engineers in the early 1720s, to the conventions of the French school of military architecture inspired by the genius of Pagan, Vauban and Cormontaigne. |
