Ta' Kenuna Tower, Telegraph tower in Nadur, Malta
The three-story Ta' Kenuna Tower stands 130 meters above sea level on the cliffs near Nadur, offering views of Comino and Malta islands.
Built by British authorities in 1848, the tower operated as a semaphore station until 1883, when the electrical telegraph system replaced visual communication methods.
The name Kenuna references the location's past function as a signal point where fires were lit to warn of approaching enemy vessels.
The tower grounds include walking paths, benches, a pond with fish, and a wooden bridge for visitors to explore the surrounding gardens.
Following restoration in 2005, the structure now functions as a telecommunications facility while maintaining its role as a maritime navigation beacon.
