Why go
Built between 1647 and 1649, Saint Agatha's Tower was a major northern stronghold rather than a small lookout. Its four corner turrets, thick walls and cannon openings show how defenders could cover the base of the building. The outlook towards Comino and Gozo makes the coastal warning network easy to imagine.
What to look for

- The red exterior
- Views over Mellieħa Bay, Comino and Gozo
