| Abstract: | The Victoria Lines is a network of fortifications built by the British Armed Forces during the second half of the 19th century consisting of a number of different elements: forts, batteries, entrenchments, searchlight emplacements and howitzer positions, and a continuous infantry line that connects them all together. They were strategically built on the edge of the Great Fault and span across the whole width of Malta; some 12 kilometres from Fomm ir-Riħ in the west to Madliena in the east. |
