Fort Ricasoli — Game of Thrones Location of the Red Keep — Malta

Fort Ricasoli is located in Kalkara, Malta, and is over 300 years old, being built around 1670 thanks to the Order of Saint John. Despite being somewhat dilapidated, the fort still sees use as a filming location, including in Game of Thrones.

How to Get to Fort Ricasoli

Flights to Kalkara from the UK start from £50, and go up to £250, with prices being higher in peak tourist season. From there, it’s easiest to get a bus to the fort — there are the X3 and X4 lines which both run hourly, and will cost you between £1 and £3 to ride, which is pretty reasonable. It’s the only public transport service that will get you there, so you’d be wise to plan accordingly.

It makes sense to combine this trip with the nearby location of the star shaped fort — Fort Manoel.

You can also do a Game of Thrones Malta tour, and the best online tours include GetYourGuide and Viator Travel.
