Description
English: Built in 1637 by Grand Master Jean Paul Lascaris, the Wied iz-Zurrieq medieval tower, known as "Torri tax-Sciutu" or "Torri ta Xutu," is a formidable coastal defense structure featuring a square plan, robust construction with thick walls and sloping reinforcing buttresses, two floors with vaulted ceilings, a flat roof equipped with a parapet and embrasures for two guns, dual ground floor entrances, and a staircase within the wall thickness connecting the first floor to the roof; in 1792, it was armed with half-pounder cannons.
