It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715-1716 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the coasts of the Maltese Islands.
Perellos Redoubt was built in 1715 and 1716 as part of the Order of Saint John's first building program of coastal fortifications.
The redoubt consisted of a pre-existing mandrague which was converted into a blockhouse,[2] and a rectangular enclosure with a high parapet wall designed to protect infantrymen.
The latter was similar to the design of Ximenes Redoubt, but it also had a small bastion on a corner of its perimeter wall.
A concrete beach post was built over the remains of the redoubt in World War II.
