In this second episode, we take a closer look at the siege itself, from the initial Ottoman assault to the knights' final stand at Fort St Elmo.
We'll explore the tactics used by both sides, the key events and turning points of the conflict, and the challenges faced by the knights as they fought to defend their island home.
We'll also examine Valette's leadership during this critical time and the impact of his decisions on the outcome of the siege.
