Dingli Radar, Meteorological radar station on Dingli Cliffs, Malta
The circular radar installation stands on the western edge of Malta, collecting atmospheric data for weather forecasting across the Mediterranean region.
The first radar station at Dingli Cliffs was established by British forces in March 1939, serving as a vital air defense system during World War II.
The radar station represents Malta's transition from British military presence to independent control of its airspace, marking a shift in national sovereignty.
The technical facility restricts public access and displays warning signs about electromagnetic radiation for individuals with medical devices such as pacemakers.
The installation processes flight data from Tunisia to Crete, forming part of Malta's air traffic control network that monitors Mediterranean aviation routes.
