In recent years there has been a welcome rise of interest, both general and sholarly, in the history and heritage of Malta’s towns and villages.  This two volume book focuses attention on the harbour city of Birgu which, nestled in the shade of the haughtily impregnable walls of Fort St Angelo and girt by one of the most splendid lines of late Renaissance and Baroque fortifications in Europe, has on many occasions been a protagonist in the vicissitudes of these islands.
