A talk focusing on the central segment of the Victoria Lines is taking place tomorrow in Valletta.

Organised by Malta’s National Trust Din l-Art Ħelwa, the talk will be addressed by archaeologist Anthony Bonanno and retired Judge Joseph Galea Debono who will share their enthusiasm of Malta’s military history.

The Victoria Lines, originally known as the North West Wall, were built along the top of the escarpment known as the Great Fault line, crossing from the east to the west of the island. They are actually a complex network of linear fortifications developed by the British military in the late 19th century, so called as they were completed during the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

The talk focuses on the stretch of the Victoria Lines from Wied il-Għasel all the way to Falka Gap, including a number of sites of a military nature, now classified as “conflict archaeology”, and a number of prehistoric and other sites from the Punic, Roman and Palaeochristian periods.

This is the third and last in a series of lectures on the Victoria Lines and their environs delivered by the Bonanno-Galea Debono tandem at Din l-Art Ħelwa.

■ The talk is taking place tomorrow at the premises of Din l-Art Ħelwa at 6.30pm. It will be delivered in English and is free of charge. Donations to the organisation are welcomed.
