Tigne Fort, built in 1792, was the last of the Valletta defenses to be commissioned and it was intended to be a secondary foil to the might of Fort St Elmo.
The 15 cannons of the diamond-shaped fort, when fired with those of Fort St Elmo, were meant to foil the attempts of enemies trying to occupy Marsamxett Harbor.
