Sciuta Tower, 17th-century watchtower in Qrendi, Malta.
The limestone tower stands near the coast, featuring a square base, thick defensive walls, and an upper observation platform with coastal views.
Built in 1638 as part of the Lascaris towers network, this watchtower served as a model for the subsequent construction of De Redin towers.
The tower represents Maltese military architecture under the Knights Hospitaller rule, with its original cannon still mounted on the roof.
Visitors can explore the restored interior and climb to the observation deck between April and October, with guided tours available upon request.
The structure maintained continuous military function from 1638 until 2002, including service as a World War II Coast Police station.
