One inescapable fact about Malta is the Great Siege of Malta 1565, an episode of history that shaped Malta and changed it forever. The presentation at the Great Siege Events Museum brings to life many aspects of this four months long battle over Malta. It is also one of the first historical spectacles which highlights the role and social aspects of the Maltese population under siege. You will see that heroism, hope and resilience come in all sizes and shapes! Women and children played an equally important role in the struggle to survive.

During an intensive 30 minutes you will get acquainted with the points of view of the Ottoman Empire, the Order of St John and the outlook of the Maltese population. The Museum strives to present a balanced view between eastern and western cultures.
