Built by the British between 1879 and 1883 on high ground at the coastal end of Delimara Point, above il-Ħofra-ż-Żgħira. Its primary function was to act as a fire control point to control the massive guns of Fort Delimara on the headland below.
The fortress was finally decommissioned in 1960 and handed over to civilian authorities.
Since 1991, the fort has been rented to the Island Sanctuary as a refuge for dogs.
