It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715–1716 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands. Today, the redoubt lies in ruins. HistoryTal-Bir Redoubt was built in 1715–1716 as part of the first building programme of coastal fortifications in Malta. It was part of a chain of fortifications that defended the northern coast of Malta, which also included Aħrax Tower, several batteries, redoubts and entrenchments. The nearest fortifications to Tal-Bir Redoubt are Wied Musa Battery to the west and Qortin Redoubt to the east. The redoubt originally consisted of a pentagonal platform with a low parapet. A rectangular blockhouse was located at the centre of its gorge. It was not armed with any artillery. Construction of Tal-Bir Redoubt cost around 1213.8.4.3 scudi.[2] Present dayToday, the redoubt lies in ruins and is almost completely destroyed.[3] Only remains of the pentagonal platform and part of its counterscarp still exist.[2] References1. ^{{cite journal|last1=Zammit|first1=Vincent|title=The Order's 18th Century Fortifications|journal=Civilization|date=1984|volume=1|page=170|publisher=PEG Ltd|location=Ħamrun}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Debono|first1=Charles|title=Fortifications - Tal-Bir Redoubt - L-Ahrax|url=http://www.mellieha.com/places_interest/fortifications/tal_bir_redoubt.htm|website=Mellieha.com|accessdate=21 June 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Said|first1=Edward|title=More Heritage Threatened|url=http://www.ktpmalta.org/wp-content/uploads/tA050.pdf|website=The Architect|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150621215725/http://www.ktpmalta.org/wp-content/uploads/tA050.pdf|archivedate=21 June 2015|page=20|date=October 2009}} External links{{commons category}}
