Armier Tower, Coastal watchtower in Mellieħa, Malta
The Armier Tower stands on Armier Bay with two floors and a square base, featuring a design typical of Maltese coastal fortifications from the 1600s.
Built in 1658 as the sixth De Redin tower, this structure cost 589 scudi and included a battery with ten iron cannons by 1770.
