Saint Peter's Battery (original) (raw)
Saint Peter's Battery (Maltese: Batterija ta' San Pietru) was an artillery battery in Kalkara, Malta, built by Maltese insurgents during the French blockade of 1798–1800. It was part of a chain of batteries, redoubts and entrenchments encircling the French positions in Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour. The battery was located about 300m to the rear of Capuchin Convent Battery, and was probably manned by militia from Żejtun. It possibly had a vaulted underground chamber which served as a barracks. Other details about the battery or its armament are unknown.

No traces of it can be seen today. (en) Bateria św. Piotra (malt. Batterija ta' San Pietru, ang. Saint Peter's Battery) – bateria artyleryjska w Kalkara na Malcie, zbudowana przez powstańców maltańskich podczas blokady Francuzów w latach 1798–1800. Była częścią łańcucha baterii, redut i umocnień (entrenchments), okrążających francuskie pozycje w Marsamxett i Grand Harbour. Leżała około 300 metrów od tylnej strony Baterii Klasztor Kapucynów, jej załogę prawdopodobnie stanowili członkowie milicji z Żejtun. Posiadała sklepione sale podziemne, służące jako koszary. Pozostałe detale odnośnie do baterii i jej uzbrojenia nie są znane. Podobnie do pozostałych fortyfikacji blokujących Francuzów, Bateria św. Piotra została rozebrana, możliwe, że po roku 1814. Nie pozostały po niej żadne widoczne ślady. (pl) |
