Riħama Battery

Nestled in Marsaskala, Riħama Battery is a fascinating remnant of Malta's military history, built by the Order of Saint John between 1714 and 1716. While it’s in a state of disrepair, its crumbling walls whisper tales of coastal defence from centuries past, making it an evocative stop for history enthusiasts. One notable aspect is the battery's original purpose as part of a wider network of fortifications, showcasing the strategic importance of the Maltese Islands throughout history.
