Teave
Kiired faktid: Neli kuussada kuuskümmend üheksa aastat vana kindlus valvab Marsamxetti sadama sissepääsu ja domineerib oma kaheksameetrise kõrgusega kallast. Torn on kogu oma ajaloo olnud osa kaitsesüsteemist, millega Malta kaitses oma rannikut merelt tulevate rünnakute eest.
Esiletõstmised: Vähesed teavad, et see torn oli ühel ajal kohalike hoonete jaoks karjäär, sest elanikud võtsid selle müüridest kivi, kuni see kaitse alla võeti. Tänapäeval seisab ta sajandite tunnistajana, müüridega, mis mäletavad nii rüütleid kui piraate, ja selle tipust avaneb vaade, mis hõlmab nii Valettat kui tervet lahte.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Bring comfortable shoes because access to the tower is over rocky terrain, and the stairs are narrow and slippery.
- The best photo spot is from the shore in front of the tower, when the sun sets behind Valletta.
- Stop by a nearby café before your visit and bring your coffee with you, since there are no shops in the area.
- If you want peace and quiet, come on a weekday when there are no crowds from excursion groups.
