Malta’s Forts: Stars of the Show
Fort St. Elmo, the Birgu waterfront, and the silent, ancient halls of the Inquisitor’s Palace in Birgu are just a few of the locations that will feature in the series. These historic sites, which have stood witness to centuries of Maltese history, will now take centre stage in a dramatic retelling of one of the island’s most significant events.
But it’s not just about the history. The series promises to bring a fresh perspective to the story, delving into the personal lives of those who fought and lived through the siege. As insert name here, the series’ lead writer, puts it, “We want to humanize this story, to show the courage, the fear, the love, and the loss that these people experienced.”
With filming set to begin later this year, the production is expected to bring a significant boost to Malta’s economy, creating jobs and drawing in tourists eager to explore the locations they’ve seen on screen. But more than that, it’s a chance for Malta to share its story with the world, to let its history take centre stage in a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat drama.
