All Maltese know of the arrival of the Knights in 1530 and the Great Siege in 1565 but what of the years in between? Fill the vacuum in our knowledge at a talk about Dragut’s many piratical attacks on Malta before the Great Siege of 1565.
Malta was always prey to pirate attacks throughout history, however these raids increased with the arrival of the Knights of St John. Before the Great Siege of 1565, there were several such attacks on our islands, bringing fear, destruction, loss of lives, as well as people taken off to slavery. One of the most devastating was the razzia of 1551 –known as the siege of Gozo. These are the events that led up to the more famous Great Siege.
To learn more about these events and their devastating effect on the people of Malta and Gozo, book your place at FAA’s talk by Vincent Zammit, at https://ticketengine.faa.org.
