Fort Manoel, Quarantine Harbour, Manoel Island, Gzira, Malta (circa 1904) This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of Fort Manoel and Quarantine Harbour on Manoel Island in Gzira, Malta. The image, taken around 1904, transports us back in time to the early 20th century, when the Mediterranean Sea was a bustling hub of maritime activity. The imposing silhouette of Fort Manoel, a 17th-century bastion fort, stands proudly on the headland, overlooking the tranquil waters of the harbour. The fort, built by the Order of St. John, served as a defensive structure to protect Malta from invaders and also as a quarantine station to prevent the spread of diseases among incoming ships and their crews. The harbour, with its calm, turquoise waters, is dotted with traditional Maltese boats, their sails furled, waiting for the next voyage. The boats, with their distinctive shapes and colors, add to the picturesque scene, reflecting the rich maritime heritage of Malta. The island of Manoel, situated in the Marsamxett Harbour, is a haven of peace and serenity, with its lush greenery and stunning views of the sea. The fort and harbour have been a popular tourist destination for over centuries, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to their historical significance and natural beauty. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the sea was the lifeline of the community. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of Fort Manoel and Quarantine Harbour, which continue to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
