Fort Campbell is an old fort built by the British in Malta before World War II (around 1937–1938).
It was made to protect the coastline and stop enemy ships and planes from attacking. It's located near Selmun in Mellieħa, with views of the sea and countryside. Today the fort is not used as a military place anymore — it's in ruins, which means many walls and buildings are broken or have collapsed over time. People used to go there for picnics and walks, but the old buildings can be unsafe after years of neglect.
In the 1960s, the area was made by the British army as a place called the St. Patrick's Officers Married Quarters — this means it was housing for British officers and their families to live in.
After the British left Malta in the late 1970s, the Maltese government used the buildings as holiday apartments. These were mainly used by students and visitors in the summers.
Manoel Island is a small island in the sea near the town of Gżira in Malta. It's connected to the main island by a short bridge, so you can walk to it easily!
The big fort was built by the Knights of St John in the 1700s and the island was named Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena. It looks like a star-shaped castle and was made to protect the island and harbour from enemies. A long time ago, the island had a hospital called a Lazzaretto where people on ships stayed if they might be sick so they wouldn't spread disease. The building is very old and interesting to learn about.
