Wardija Tower, Coastal watchtower in Żurrieq, Malta
The square stone tower features two floors with thick limestone walls, a roof turret, and an elevated entrance accessible through exterior stairs.
Built in 1659 as the last of thirteen De Redin towers, Wardija Tower served as a signal relay point between Wied iz-Zurrieq and Hamrija towers.
The structure represents a period when Malta developed an extensive network of coastal fortifications under the Order of Saint John administration.
Following restoration work completed in 2022, visitors can explore the surrounding grounds and observe the tower's exterior architectural elements.
Unlike other De Redin towers on Malta's coast, this structure was constructed on a notably smaller scale while maintaining the same defensive design.
