Aspects of the Castrum Maris in 1400

13 October 

Fort St Angelo, Birgu 

Fort St Angelo as we know it today is much different from how it looked in medieval times when it was known as the Castrum Maris (Castle by the Sea). Historical documents shed light on some aspects of this period, including details of weapons and supplies that were used in the castle. Heritage Malta will be hosting a medieval re-enactment by the Historical Re-enactment Group Malta (HRGM) with the theme ‘Aspects of the Castrum Malta in 1400’.

 Between 1000 hours to 1600 hours, the general public is invited to visit the fort where re-enactors will be portraying clothing and weaponry of soldiers stationed in the Castrum Maris around the year 1400. This event is included in the reduced admission fee applicable during the Birgu fest weekend. 

Price: €3, valid for Fort St Angelo, Malta Maritime Museum and Inquisitor's Palace, valid during the Birgu Fest weekend. 

Time: Fort St Angelo is open between 0900 to 1800 hours. Re-enactors will be at the Fort between 1000 and 1600 hours
