Description

Fra Fomm-ir Rih til Fort Madliena løber en lille geologisk forkastning tværs over middelhavsøen. Den maltesiske orden, der har været ved magten i skærgården siden 1530, opførte omkring 1722 flere observations- og beskyttelsesposter for soldater langs denne linje.
Da briterne besatte Malta i 1800, faldt disse anlæg først i glemsel. I anden halvdel af 1800-tallet begyndte briterne så opførelsen af store befæstninger.
Efter at der i første omgang var bygget tre forter langs forkastningskammet i 1875, begyndte man senere at forbinde dem med en mur, som blev afsluttet i 1890. Derefter blev muren udvidet med kanonstillinger og overnatningssteder, og et fjerde fort blev bygget. I 1897 var disse arbejder afsluttet, og bastionen blev kaldt Victoria Lines til ære for dronning Victoria, der på det tidspunkt fejrede sit 60-års jubileum på tronen.
