About
Fort Binġemma (formerly written as Fort Bin Jema or Fort Bengemma, Maltese: Il-Fortizza ta' Binġemma) is a polygonal fort in the limits of Rabat, Malta. It was built between 1875 and 1878 by the British as part of the Victoria Lines. The fort was illegally occupied by the Buttigieg family from 2009 till 2025, who occasionally used it as a restaurant. In 2025 the family was evicted. It is set on a hill of around 180m (590 feet) above sea level. Before the building of the fort, there was a Roman village on the site.
