Malta Independence Day
Independence Day celebration starts on Friday. Every
year it is the same scenario – flowers and a parade to the monument, some
events in Valletta.... This year together with the Independence Day, The Malta
Jousting tournament was organised in the Fort Rinella. During this event an
entrance to the fort cost 5 euro instead of 10 euro. We decided to visit this
event and the Fort Rinella together with my friend. From Valletta there is only
one bus to Kalkara – no.3 and it is once per hour. To check the schedule visit the
arrive website
The tournament was great. The teller was a British guy
and he was perfectly prepared for his role. He knew everything and he told
stories without any problems and smoothly.
Firstly, they prepared two knights and he explained
everything.
Next, on the small terrain they showed artistry of the
knights skills.
There were a lot of people and only one problem we had
it was the sun on our faces, if the sun will be behind us, that will be great.
The main attraction happened when the audience was
ready and in a good mood. Two knights with lance fought against each other. It
was a spectacular event and we really enjoyed our time.
During the break, we had time to visit fort.
The main attraction of this fort is a coal-fired gun which
is able to send a one tone shell up to eight miles every 6 minutes.
There is a shelter open for visitors, a munitions
depot and some other rooms. Every day, at 2 pm there is live firing of an
original Victorian British Howitzer.
As the website shows, there are events every day, but
as a museum there is nothing interesting inside – but this is only my opinion.
