About Dwejra Tower
Dwejra Tower (Torri tad-Dwejra in Maltese) stands in Dwejra Bay, in San Lawrenz on the island of Gozo, Malta. It was completed in 1652 while Giovanni Paolo Lascaris was Grand Master, and the University of Gozo paid for it. It belongs to the Lascaris towers, built to watch over the surrounding area and guard it against corsair landings. Only four coastal watchtowers survive on Gozo; the other three are Isopu Tower, Xlendi Tower and Mġarr ix-Xini Tower.
Like the other Lascaris towers, it could signal to nearby fortifications with fire at night and smoke by day. The cost of running it was met by salt produced at the nearby salt pans. Three 6-pounder guns were fitted there in the eighteenth century. Grand Master Pinto banned visits to Fungus Rock in 1744, where a plant popularly called the Maltese fungus was thought to have medicinal powers, and the tower served as a lookout to stop anyone climbing the islet.
The Royal Malta Fencible Artillery manned the tower between 1839 and 1873, and it then stood abandoned until 1914, when First World War troops took it over again, and in World War II it was used as an observation post. Din l-Art Ħelwa restored it between 1997 and 1999. It was a filming location for Treasure in Malta (1963) and Among Wolves (1985).
