Wardija Tower

Wardija Tower (Maltese: Torri tal-Wardija), originally known as Torre della Guardia di Giorno[1] and also known as Bubaqra Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' Bubaqra),[2] is a small watchtower in the limits of Żurrieq, Malta.

It was completed in June 1659 as the last of the thirteen De Redin towers.

[3] Wardija Tower was the last coastal watchtower to be built on the main island of Malta.

The tower follows the standard design of the De Redin towers, having a square plan with two floors and a turret on the roof, but it is slightly smaller.

After the British period, the tower became abandoned and fell into disuse.
