Lippija Tower, Defensive watchtower in Mġarr, Malta.
The limestone Lippija Tower presents a square layout with two floors connected internally, crowned by a flat roof with a perimeter parapet at 11 meters height.
Built in 1637 as part of the Lascaris towers network, this structure replaced a medieval watch post and operated as a coastal defense point against sea-based threats.
The tower demonstrates the military architectural techniques of seventeenth-century Malta through its construction methods, materials, and strategic placement along the coastline.
Located at coordinates 35.9231, 14.3486, the tower provides views toward both Għajn Tuffieħa and Nadur Towers across the surrounding Mediterranean landscape.
The structure, initially named Torre del Migiarro, contained a dedicated chapel to Santa Agatha within its walls during its early operational period.
