Santa Cecilia Tower, 17th century defensive tower in Għajnsielem, Malta.
Santa Cecilia Tower stands as a rectangular limestone structure with finials, overlooking the surrounding landscape of Għajnsielem from its strategic position.
The tower, constructed in 1613 by Fra Bernardo Macedonia of the Order of St. John, functioned as a signal station to relay messages across the island of Gozo.
The structure received Grade 1 monument status and remains listed in the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands since 1925.
The tower maintains its original structure but remains in private ownership, making interior visits restricted to the general public.
The tower shares its grounds with the Santa Cecilia Chapel, which predates it and stands as the oldest surviving chapel on the island of Gozo.
