Its date of construction is not known, but it is believed to date back to around the mid or late 16th century. HistoryThe tower was built for defensive purposes in the inland areas of Malta in the early periods of the Order of St. John. In the 17th century the tower was aided with the building of another tower, the Tal-Wejter Tower, to better facilitate communication with Floriana.[1] The tower was included on the Antiquities List of 1925.[2] It is now scheduled as a Grade 1 national monument by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority,[3] and it is also listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.[4] ArchitectureBirkirkara Tower has a square plan, and its roof is surrounded by a high parapet wall. The latter contains six box machicolations;[5] a pair at the left-side and two on the right-side, and one each at the front and back. See also
