Dellia Battery

[1] The battery consisted of a mostly rectangular gun platform with a rounded end, ringed by a low parapet.

The doorway was surmounted by the coats of arms of the Order, Grand Master Ramon Perellos y Roccaful and the Langue of France.

[2] In the early 20th century, the battery was a summer residence for the consul-general of Austria-Hungary, Antonio Muscat Fenech.

[2] Most of Dellia Battery was demolished in 1924 to make way for a new road, but the three escutcheons with coats of arms and a commemorative marble plaque which stood on the doorway were retained.

[3] The plinth containing the coats of arms and inscription is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.
