Built by Vittorio Cassar at the request of Alof de Wignacourt, this powerful fort could house a hundred men ready for any attack. It was completed in 1615. At the time, it was the main control tower on the east coast, from which alarm signals and information were sent to smaller towers all the way to the capital. Also used by the English, the tower served as a detention camp during the last war. It has been restored and, although now surrounded by modern buildings, still stands imposingly.

Ce fort construit en bord de route est impressionnant à voir. Il est malheureusement impossible de le visiter mais l'arrêt vaut le détour.
