St. Paul's Bay Tower, Historic coastal watchtower in St. Paul's Bay, Malta
The limestone tower features a square base, thick defensive walls, multiple floors, and a commanding position overlooking the Mediterranean coastline.
Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt initiated the construction of this defensive tower in 1610 to protect the northern region of Malta from naval threats.
The tower houses exhibits displaying military artifacts and scale models that represent the defensive systems of the Knights of St. John in Malta.
Visitors can access the tower from Monday to Thursday between 9:00 and 13:00, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 13:00 for an entrance fee of 2 euros.
This structure remains the oldest surviving watchtower on the main island of Malta, replacing an earlier farmhouse known as Ta' Tabibu.
