Xwejni Redoubt

Xwejni Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott tax-Xwejni) was a redoubt in Xwejni Bay, limits of Żebbuġ, Gozo, Malta.

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

The redoubt formed part of a chain of fortifications built to defend Marsalforn and nearby bays from Ottoman or Barbary attacks.

Although the area was once fortified by a number of towers, batteries, redoubts and entrenchments, all of these have been destroyed except for Qolla l-Bajda Battery between Qbajjar and Xwejni Bays.
