Corradino Batteries, Artillery battery in Paola, Malta.
Three military fortifications form the Corradino Batteries, each positioned strategically to protect different directions including Għajn Dwieli, Senglea, and the Floriana Lines.
The batteries, constructed between 1798 and 1799 under architect Michele Cachia, served as defense points during the French blockade of Malta.
The structures demonstrate Malta's military engineering methods, incorporating limestone construction and traditional defensive architectural elements from the late 18th century.
The industrial development now occupies the former battery sites, with portions of the original fortifications remaining accessible for historical research.
The batteries contained underground shelters and specialized sentry rooms that functioned both as observation posts and storage spaces for firearms and ammunition.
