abstract
  • Fort St Rocco, also known as Fort St Roca on some maps, is a fortification on the island of Malta. It stands east of the Rinella Battery and seaward of the village of Santu Rokku, and forms part of the complex of shore batteries defending the coast east of the mouth of Grand Harbour. Its construction was started in 1872 by the British, as part of a program of improvements to Malta's fortifications recommended in Colonel Jervois's Report of 1866 titled "Memorandum with reference to the improvements to the defences of Malta and Gibraltar, rendered necessary by the introduction of Iron Plated Ships and powerful rifled guns". It remained a functional military establishment until the 1950s.
