Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The fortifications of Birgu (Maltese: Is-Swar tal-Birgu) are a series of defensive walls and other fortifications which surround the city of Birgu, Malta. The first fortification to be built was Fort Saint Angelo in the Middle Ages, and the majority of the fortifications were built between the 16th and 18th centuries by the Order of Saint John. Most of the fortifications remain largely intact today.

Summary from Język polski / Polish Wikipedia (plwiki)

Fortyfikacje Birgu (malt. Is-Swar tal-Birgu) – ciąg murów obronnych i innych umocnień opasujących miasto Birgu na Malcie. Pierwszym umocnieniem, które tu zostało zbudowane był Fort Saint Angelo (Fort Świętego Anioła), pochodzący jeszcze z wieków średnich, a większość fortyfikacji została zbudowana między XVI a XVIII w. przez Zakon Maltański. Znaczna część fortyfikacji przetrwała do dziś.
