It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1714–1716 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the coasts of the Maltese Islands. The battery no longer exists. HistoryMaħsel Battery was built in 1714–1716 as part of the first building programme of coastal batteries in Malta. It defended St. Thomas Bay along with Riħama Battery on the opposite side of the bay, and St. Thomas Tower and Battery commanding the headland to the north of the bay.[1] Maħsel Battery's design was similar to that of Riħama Battery, having a pentagonal gun platform and a blockhouse. It was sometimes considered as a redoubt, but it was armed with cannon so it was actually a battery.[2] In 1761, an entrenchment wall was built close to Maħsel Battery, part of which still survives. The battery itself no longer exists.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=The South East Malta Coastal Defence|url=http://wirtizzejtun.com/2014/05/18/events-the-south-east-malta-coastal-defence/|website=Wirt iż-Żejtun|accessdate=23 June 2015|date=18 May 2014}} {{Batteries in Malta}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mahsel Battery}}{{Malta-geo-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Spiteri|first1=Stephen C.|title=Campaigning for Rihama Battery|url=http://www.militaryarchitecture.com/index.php/Conservation/campaigning-for-rihama-battery.html|website=MilitaryArchitecture.com|accessdate=21 June 2015|date=28 August 2012}} 8 : Batteries in Malta|Marsaskala|Castles and fortifications of the Knights Hospitaller|Military installations established in 1715|Demolished buildings and structures in Malta|Limestone buildings in Malta|18th-century fortifications|1715 establishments in Malta |
