It was built in 1638 and is one of the Lascaris towers. Today, it is located in the grounds of a hotel. Saint George's Tower is located at St. George's Bay, St. Julian's. Its site was originally occupied by a medieval watch post.[1] The tower remained in use during the British period but was converted to a Fire Control Station once Fort Pembroke was built. The tower served as a radio communications post in World War II.[2] The tower appears in a 1916 painting with the British additions.[2] It was listed by MEPA as a Grade I National Monument in 1995, and in 1997 the fire control tower added by the British was demolished, which restored the tower to its original state.[3] The tower is now incorporated within the grounds of the Corinthia Hotel St George's Bay.[4] See also
