Buġibba Battery, Artillery battery in St. Paul's Bay, Malta.
The battery features a semi-circular structure with a gun platform, parapets, and a blockhouse at the rear, surrounded by a seawater-filled ditch.
The Order of St. John constructed this coastal fortification between 1747 and 1784 as part of their strategic defense system across the Maltese islands.
The National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands recognizes this military structure for its representation of 18th-century defense architecture.
Visitors can access the remaining rock-hewn foundations and ditch of the battery site, which sits between Wignacourt Tower and Qawra Tower.
The limestone construction materials used in the battery reflect traditional Maltese building methods and the natural resources available during the 18th century.
