Sciutu Tower (aka locally as Torri ta’ Xutu and Torri Sciuto) was built in 1637–1638 in Wied iż-Żurrieq, located within the Qrendi boundaries, on the site of a medieval watch post.

[1] It served as the prototype for the De Redin towers, which were built between 1658 and 1659 (366 years ago) (1659).

An original cannon dating back to the Order's rule can still be found on the tower's roof.

[citation needed] In March 2013, Din l-Art Ħelwa was entrusted by the Government with the conservation of this tower for a period of 10 years.

[3] In September 2014, the tower and the surrounding area was cleaned of waste and debris by Din l-Art Ħelwa volunteers as well as the Qrendi Scouts.
