Gourgion Tower

These were later donated to the Gozo Museum of Archaeology, where they were displayed for a number of years, but were later removed and are now in storage at Heritage Malta.

[2] The Gourgion Tower was meant to serve both as a country retreat and a defensive position, so it was largely utilitarian in nature.

A notable feature of the tower was a domed stair-hood, which was similar to echauguettes found in the Hospitaller fortifications of Malta.

[5] The tower's façade had musketry loopholes, and was decorated with the coats of arms of Gourgion, Carafa and Wignacourt, as well as a number of inscriptions and other sculptures.

[2] Gourgion's estates near the tower were surrounded by a boundary wall, which also contained a number of inscriptions and an ornate public well.
