Story · Fort Saint Angelo

You're standing at Fort St. Angelo in Birgu, right in the middle of Malta's Grand Harbour. Look at those massive stone walls that seem to rise straight out of the water. This isn't a fairytale castle. It's a bastioned fort, built to carry cannons and to shrug off cannonballs.
