Fort Manoel was commissioned by the Portuguese Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena and was built between 1723 and 1755. A design was originally prepared by the French engineer Rene Jacob de Tigne, but this was modified by Charles Francois de Mondion, who also supervised the construction of the work. Mondion was the Order of St John's resident military engineer. The fort was hit and heavily damaged during the Second World War.
