Why go
Built in 1618, the tower defended a channel where corsairs could hide among Comino's caves and creeks. Its square mass, four corner turrets and elevated platform show the scale of the Wignacourt tower programme. The position also made it a communications link between Malta and Gozo, visible from both islands.
What to look for
- The four corner turrets
- The elevated platform and massive walls
- Views across the Malta-Gozo channel
Useful to know
- Check public opening arrangements before expecting an interior visit.
- Allow a separate walking interval from the lagoon and keep your return boat time in mind.
