Tigne Point and Momentous Conflicts
Tigne Point was historically called Dragut Point, in remembrance of the distant 1565 Siege of Malta which saw the Maltese alongside the Knights of the Order of St John fighting the Turkish invaders.
The location of Tigne also comprises Fort Tigne which was constructed in 1793, the last major military construction of the Knights on Malta before their departure in 1798. This fort was tantamount during the Maltese resistance against the French occupation in 1878. Eventually, during British Colonial rule, Fort Tigne and barracks were strategically important in the protection of Malta against Italian and German invasion during WWII.
The historical view of Valletta provides the ultimate conversation igniter. A huge chunk of Malta’s heritage is there for visual impact and one can enjoy spotting all the special sites against the backdrop of the setting sun.
