Will Fort Ricasoli be doomed forever?

An opportunity to save Fort Ricasoli was lost when it was not included in Smart City’s master plan. Therefore we hope that when restoration works start the authorities will still be on time. Ricasoli is a fort on the island of Malta, built by the knights of Malta between 1670 and 1693. We went to the fort and interviewed some tourists and they remarked that it should be restored immediately. We should not let our historic fortifications and forts fall down as thanks to them that Malta is famous. A day will come when it will be too late to restore and recover what we have inherited. A man at Ricasoli told us that some form of specially designed artificial reef could have been built using the limestone excavated to make way for smart city to protect the Fort from sea storms. We must act now before it’s too late.
