It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715–1716 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands.[3] Elminiech Battery was part of a chain of fortifications that defended Marsaxlokk Bay, which also included six other batteries, the large Saint Lucian Tower, two smaller De Redin towers, four redoubts and three entrenchments.[4] The nearest fortifications to Elminiech Battery were the Birżebbuġa Entrenchments to the northwest and Fresnoy Redoubt to the east. Construction of the battery cost 1451 scudi.[5] The battery was demolished, and its site is now occupied by part of the Malta Freeport.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Birżebbuġa|url=https://duluri.wordpress.com/birzebbuga/|website=duluri.wordpress.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151214184026/https://duluri.wordpress.com/birzebbuga/|archivedate=14 December 2015|language=Maltese}} {{Batteries in Malta}}{{Malta-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last1=Farrugia Randon|first1=Stanley|title=Heritage Saved – Din l-Art Ħelwa – 1965–2015|date=2015|publisher=Miller Distributors Ltd.|location=Luqa|isbn=9789995752132|page=119}} 3. ^{{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}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Vendôme Tower |url=http://www.eh4-marenostrum.net/virtualtour/Marsaxlokk/trail_2/09/Vendome-Tower.pdf |website=Mare Nostrum |accessdate=28 June 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150531015138/http://www.eh4-marenostrum.net/virtualtour/Marsaxlokk/trail_2/09/Vendome-Tower.pdf |archivedate=31 May 2015 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Spiteri|first1=Stephen C.|title=St. Thomas Tower and Battery|url=http://www.militaryarchitecture.com/index.php/Fortifications/st-thomas-tower-and-battery.html|website=MilitaryArchitecture.com|accessdate=28 June 2015|date=18 October 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=About Birzebbuga|url=http://www.birzebbuga.com/aboutbirzebbuga.html|website=birzebbuga.com|accessdate=28 June 2015}} 8 : Batteries in Malta|Castles and fortifications of the Knights Hospitaller|Military installations established in 1715|Demolished buildings and structures in Malta|Birżebbuġa|Limestone buildings in Malta|18th-century fortifications|1715 establishments in Malta |
