Gżira's Old Gate

Also known as: Fawwara Gate

This crumbling gate in Gżira is a little-documented remnant of Malta's British colonial period, historically associated with the defensive network of the Ta' Xbiex area. It is referenced as part of the Acre Project fortifications rebuilt under British rule, though no official signage or heritage documentation currently marks the site. Visitors typically stumble upon it by chance — there is no formal access point, no information boards, and the stonework has suffered from persistent littering. For those tracing the lesser-known layers of Maltese military history, it stands as an unadorned, unrestored fragment.
