Ramla Left Battery

Ramla Left Battery (Maltese: Batterija tax-Xellug tar-Ramla), also known as Belancourt Battery (Maltese: Batterija ta' Belancourt) or Xagħra Battery (Maltese: Batterija tax-Xagħra),[1] was an artillery battery in Ramla Bay, within the limits of Xagħra on the island of Gozo, Malta.

It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715–1716 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands.

[2] The battery originally had an irregularly shaped gun platform with a parapet having six embrasures.

[3] These ruins, along with the rest of Ramla Bay, are managed by the Gaia Foundation.
