It was completed in 1637 as the first of the Lascaris towers. Today, the tower is in good condition. HistoryLippija Tower was built in 1637 on the edge of Wardija Ridge overlooking Ġnejna Bay on the north west coast of Malta. The tower has Għajn Tuffieħa and Nadur Towers in its line of sight. The construction of the tower was personally financed by Giovanni Paolo Lascaris. The tower was built on the site of a medieval watch post.[2] It was designed by the Italian architect Vincenzo Maculani. It is almost identical to Għajn Tuffieħa Tower, having a square plan and two floors topped by a flat roof with a parapet. Each floor has a single room, and access to the upper floor was originally by a wooden ladder. Originally the tower was known as Torre del Migiarro and had a chapel dedicated to Santa Agatha.[3] Present dayBy the early 2000s, Lippija Tower was abandoned and it was in danger of collapsing. It was restored by the Ministry of Resources and Infrastructure in 2003, and it is now in good condition.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Agius |first1=Raymond |title=Walk around the coast of Malta - 'from tower to tower'. |url=http://www.agius.com/malta/towers.htm |website=agius.com |accessdate=17 May 2015 |date=May 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150908223204/http://www.agius.com/malta/towers.htm |archivedate= 8 September 2015 |df= }} 2. ^{{cite journal|last1=Zammit|first1=Vincent|title=Fortifications in the Middle Ages|journal=Civilization|date=1984|volume=1|page=33|publisher=PEG Ltd|location=Ħamrun}} 3. ^[https://books.google.com.mt/books?id=onxb8mja88kC&pg=PA343&lpg=PA343&dq=torre+isola+Malta&source=bl&ots=TyDesHs512&sig=9CG0fIfFicjJZtlomqJW3YZ-XRY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjh2JLeluDNAhVGthQKHa72BnEQ6AEIjQEwFQ#v=onepage&q=torre%20isola%20Malta&f=false Malta illustrata ovvero Descrizione di Malta]. p. 343. 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Cini|first1=George|title=Lippija tower restoration taken in hand|url=http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20030721/local/lippija-tower-restoration-taken-in-hand.145180|accessdate=20 April 2014|work=Times of Malta|date=21 July 2003}} External links{{commons category|Ta' Lippija Tower}}
