LOCATION DETAILS
Fort Ricasoli is a large fortification built in Kalkara between 1670 and 1693 that offers a beautiful view of the Grand Harbour of Malta. Due to its history and charm, it has been used to shoot several very popular films. Some of these include the historical dramas Gladiator starring Russell Crowe, Troy, and Agora.
Ancient Rome came to life at Fort Ricasoli: crowds of extras – sometimes numbering up to 1,000 a day – packed the Coliseum and the city streets, which were recreated with painstaking detail.
