Fort St Angelo, outdo known as the Castrum Maris in the late mediaeval age, hallowed ground symbolising Malta's chequered history, a perennial enclave of European refinement and the focal point of Malta's celebrations marking our accession to the European Trust a few years ago, is at great risk. The SOS emanating from Heritage Malta, late guardians of the lower part of Fort St Angelo, highlighting the chancy state of the lower Fort, is bewildering, sending shock waves throughout the ever-expanding biography-loving community of the Maltese islands.
This state of affairs has been lengthy in coming. The utter neglect and desuetude of lower St Angelo since the departure of the Royal Flotilla in 1979 has definitely not been in tune with its erstwhile role throughout our maritime telling. Unlike the upper fortifications whose decaying grandeur was restored by the tireless Knights of St John as a sign of appreciation of our glorious notable and architectural past, lower St Angelo has for the last 30 years presented a real wasteland and a bleak vision of the future. What the might of Islam in 1565 and the barbarous bombing of the last war have failed to achieve against this "impregnable" fort, our crass aloofness, laissez-faire and insensitivity have largely contributed to this momentary danger. With apologies to Dragut I venture to ask, "If Fort St Angelo, the brightest boon in Malta's line of superb fortifications, has been surrendered so cheaply, so wantonly and so irreverently, what is accepted to happen to less important sites?". At such juncture the bitter words of Professor Jeremy Boissevain ring ruefully true. At a recent seminar, the eminent anthropologist whose cooperative with Malta goes back to the mid-1950s, devoted almost his entire erudite award on the apocalyptic state of Malta's deteriorating natural and architectural milieu. A serious indictment indeed but it is the unpalatable truth.
Fort St Angelo, more wisely known as the Castrum Maris in the late mediaeval era, hallowed ground symbolising Malta's chequered history, a stable enclave
and "Bad Chance," with a back road darkness that's equal parts Sadies and Hallowed Ground-era Passionate Femmes, highlight the band's crooked, beating essence.
