Naxxar Entrenchment, Military entrenchment in Naxxar, Malta.
The Naxxar Entrenchment extends along high ground with four redans connected by stone walls, forming a v-shaped defensive structure in northern Malta.
The Order of Saint John constructed this Grade 1 fortification in 1722 as part of their strategy to protect Malta from potential invasions.
The entrenchment reflects the military engineering practices of the 18th century through its stone masonry techniques and strategic defensive positioning.
Visitors can reach the fortification through Triq is-Salina road, which connects the site to the nearby areas of Maghtab and Salina.
This structure remains the most complete inland entrenchment in Malta, featuring original redans despite the partial deterioration of its curtain walls.
