Garden Battery, Artillery battery in Tigné Point, Sliema, Malta.
Garden Battery features three strategic gun emplacements, including two 6-inch and one 9.2-inch guns positioned on disappearing mounts at Tigné Point location.
The British military constructed Garden Battery between 1889 and 1894 at a cost of £7806 to strengthen the defensive capabilities of Malta.
The battery represents the British military engineering practices of the late 19th century through its construction methods and strategic placement.
The remains of Garden Battery lie underground at Tigné Point, with plans for integration into a future heritage route for visitors.
Four QF 3-inch anti-aircraft guns were installed at Garden Battery in 1937, replacing the original armaments during World War II until 1943.
