SPECIAL EVENTS

Traditional Victory Day Gun Salute​

From the 3rd till the 6th of October, Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna – the Malta Heritage Trust will be hosting The Heritage and History Book Fair at Notre Dame Gate. A vast selection of military history, general history, maritime, aviation, children’s, WWI and WWII books will be available to purchase at special prices. The Fair is going to be held at Notre Dame Gate, Vittoriosa. During the fair we will be hosting talks on various history and art-related subjects. A great fair for all the family.
