Dwejra Lines

Dwejra Lines is the name given to the western sector of the Victoria Lines, a series of fortifications that run the width of the island of Malta. Taking advantage of a natural slope, the British built this 12km line of defense in the late nineteenth century. The remains of these fortifications can be visited walking westward from the roundabout on the outskirts of the city. Two hundred yards away you will see what were Targa batteries, now used by local farmers. We will continue walking down a quiet so you must be careful with the branches. We will see a large pit on our left and we discover some entrances to tunnels that have yet been closed off.
