Għargħar Battery

The battery had a linear gun platform and a high masonry parapet with six embrasures.

Two of these were fitted with flagpoles flying the White Ensign and the flag of the Kingdom of Sicily.

Għargħar Battery is significant as being the first place where the British flag was raised in Malta.

The battery had an advanced post at Il-Ħarrub ta' Stiefnu, which was armed with a single gun.

Għargħar Battery still existed in 1811,[3] but like the other French blockade fortifications, it was dismantled, possibly after 1814.
