Ħamrija Tower was built in 1659 on a cliff on the southwestern coast of Malta, on the site of a medieval watch post.

The tower is located a few hundred metres from two Neolithic temple sites, Mnajdra and Ħaġar Qim, although these had not yet been discovered when it was built.

[4] The tower was recently restored and partially rebuilt after parts of its external revetments collapsed.

These works involved the reconstruction of the spiral staircase, along with the shaft and parapet.

It now forms part of the Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Archaeological Park, which includes the temples, the tower, a memorial to Sir Walter Congreve, a visitor centre and the surrounding area.
