The In Guardia Parade, a historical re-enactment organised by the Malta Tourism Authority, continues this spring with another display at Fort St Elmo tomorrow.
The event portrays an authentic event that took place regularly inside Fort St Elmo and includes the inspection of the fort and its garrison by the Grand Bailiff of the Order of the Knights of St John in charge of military affairs. During the re-enactment, the soldiers and knights of the fort’s garrison – some 70 re-enactors – are kitted out in their finest uniforms and perform a military drill demonstrating to the Grand Bailiff the garrison’s state of readiness in the event of a military threat.
The show begins at 11am and lasts 40 minutes.
Groups may book through Heritage Malta, while individuals may buy admission tickets at the reception inside the fort.
