The 18th century Qolla l-Bajda Battery, one of the few surviving coastal fortifications in Gozo, is located between Qbajjar and Xwejni, on a promontory known as il-Ponta tat-Torri.

[1][2][3] The Qolla l-Bajda Battery, also known as the Qbajjar Battery, is one of the many defensive structures built in the Hospitaller period, and continued to be used by Britain in World War I and World War II.

When it was originally built, it was made up of two blockhouses, a gun platform, a parapet and a small ditch.

These enabled it to provide defense against invading forces.

The blockhouses had small gun-holes, in case of an attack from land.
