It was built in the late medieval or early Hospitaller period, and it is one of the oldest surviving towers in Malta. HistoryNo records exist on the date of construction of Cavalier Tower. It was possibly built in the late medieval period, when Malta was still part of the Kingdom of Sicily. If this is correct, it would be the only surviving medieval tower in Malta, apart from the ruins of a circular tower in Xlendi. Other historians believe that the tower was built in the 16th or 17th centuries by the Order of Saint John.[3] It is situated near a 16th-century property, built in 1585.[4] In the 17th century, the tower and residence were modified, when the tower lost most of its defensive architecture.[5] Cavalier Tower was named as such since it housed a Captain ({{lang-mt|Kaptan Kavallier}}) of the Order.[5] The tower has an octagonal plan,[6] and it is the only one in Malta with such a design. It is three stories high, and it has cordons between each floor.[7] A number of box machicolations supported on corbels are located at the crest of its parapet. The tower's main entrance is located in an adjacent medieval residence, which was originally a mill room or a chapel.[7] The tower is surrounded by a cluster of contemporary buildings and courtyards, which have been called "one of the most interesting examples of architectural development" in Malta. In the early 20th century, an underground shelter was excavated beneath the property to be used during the Second World War.[7] The tower was included on the Antiquities List of 1925.[8] It is also a Grade 1 scheduled building and list on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.[5] Present dayToday, Cavalier Tower is in good condition. It is a privately owned residence and is not open to the public.[9] It is owned by MP Marlene Farrugia.[10][11] A permission to restore the residence, incorporating the tower, was granted by the Planning Authority in 2011.[12] It is currently for sale at approximately €4 million.[4][13] References1. ^[https://deputyprimeminister.gov.mt/en/regcounc/medicalcouncil/Documents/registers/mcdentistsfull.pdf p. 13] 2. ^{{cite journal|last1=Cassar Pullicino|first1=Joseph|title=The Order of St. John in Maltese folk-memory|journal=Scientia|date=October–December 1949|volume=15|issue=4|page=159|url=http://melitensiawth.com/incoming/Index/Scientia%20(Malta)/Scientia.%2015(1949)4(Oct.-Dec.)/01.pdf|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160417173522/http://melitensiawth.com/incoming/Index/Scientia%20%28Malta%29/Scientia.%2015%281949%294%28Oct.-Dec.%29/01.pdf|archivedate=17 April 2016|deadurl=yes|df=}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last1=Spiteri|first1=Stephen C.|title=A Medieval tower at Qrendi?|journal=Arx - Online Journal of Military Architecture and Fortification|date=May 2008|volume=6|pages=58–59|url=http://www.militaryarchitecture.com/images/stories/Arx/arx6-2008.pdf|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6hBuv3cHQ?url=http://www.militaryarchitecture.com/images/stories/Arx/arx6-2008.pdf|archivedate=1 May 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=Highly converted palazzo in Qredndi's UCA|url=https://www.engelvoelkers.com/en-mt/exposes/highly-converted-palazzo-in-qrendis-uca-2311019.1150336_exp/|website=Engel & Völkels|date=2006–2016|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161018015108/https://www.engelvoelkers.com/en-mt/exposes/highly-converted-palazzo-in-qrendis-uca-2311019.1150336_exp/|archivedate=18 October 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=The Qrendi Cavalier Tower|url=http://www.qrendiscouts.org/qrendi_torri_cvlr.htm|website=Qrendi Scouts|accessdate=25 July 2015|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050506173101/http://qrendiscouts.org/qrendi_torri_cvlr.htm|archivedate=6 May 2005|df=}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Abela|first1=Giovanni Francesco|authorlink1=Giovanni Francesco Abela|title=Della Descrizione di Malta Isola nel Mare Siciliano con le sue Antichità, ed Altre Notizie|date=1647|publisher=Paolo Bonacota|page=207|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=krRTAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA92#v=onepage&q&f=false|language=Italian}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=One World - Protecting the most significant buildings, monuments and features of the Maltese islands (22) - Torri tal-Kaptan, Qrendi|url=http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090718/opinion/one-world-protecting-the-most-significant-buildings-monuments-and.265535|accessdate=25 July 2015|work=Times of Malta|date=18 July 2009}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Protection of Antiquities Regulations 21st November, 1932 Government Notice 402 of 1932, as Amended by Government Notices 127 of 1935 and 338 of 1939. |url=https://www.mepa.org.mt/file.aspx?f=2627 |website=Malta Environment and Planning Authority |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160419101304/https://www.mepa.org.mt/file.aspx?f=2627 |archivedate=19 April 2016 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 9. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Qrendi Tower - Torre Cavalieri|url=http://www.culturalheritage.gov.mt/filebank/inventory/Knights%20Fortifications/1429.pdf|work=National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands|volume=6|accessdate=25 July 2015|date=28 June 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923232327/http://www.culturalheritage.gov.mt/filebank/inventory/Knights%20Fortifications/1429.pdf|archivedate=23 September 2015|df=}} 10. ^{{cite news|last=Vella|first=Matthew|date=4 June 2017|title=[WATCH] People blinded by Labour’s largesse, Marlene Farrugia says in video message|url=http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/election-2017/77862/watch_people_blinded_by_labours_largesse_marlene_farrugia_says_in_video_message#.WUj4xbHRahA|work=Malta Today}} 11. ^{{cite news|last=|first=|date=10 December 2013|title=Marlene Farrugia: Speaking out from the backbench (full interview)|url=http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2013-12-10/local-news/Marlene-Farrugia:-Speaking-out-from-the-backbench-(full-interview)-3419242499|work=The Malta Independent}} 12. ^{{cite news|last=|first=|date=1 June 2015|title=Kastilja tordna li ma jsirux attakki fuq Marlene Farrugia|url=http://www.illum.com.mt/ahbarijiet/politika/41998/kastilja_tordna_li_ma_jsirux_attakki_fuq_marlene_farrugia#.WUj-jLHRahA|work=illum|language=Maltese}} 13. ^{{cite web|last=Fino|first=Wayne|title=Qrendi, Converted Palazzo|url=https://franksalt.com.mt/properties/415022|work=Frank Salt|date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170620112908/https://franksalt.com.mt/properties/415022|archive-date=20 June 2017}} External links{{commons category}}
