Located just to the north of the village itself this tower clearly stands out from a long distance. The tower has been lovingly restored with information on its history and the restoration provided inside by friendly staff. Climb to the roof for spectacular views back over Mellieha and out over to Comino and Gozo. Easily accessible by car or a short uphill walk from the nearest bus stop.
Saint Agatha's Tower, also known as the Red Tower, Mellieħa Tower or Fort Saint Agatha, is a large bastioned watchtower in Mellieħa, Malta. It was built between 1647 and 1649, as the sixth of the Lascaris towers. The tower's design is completely different from the rest of the Lascaris towers, but it is similar to the earlier Wignacourt towers. St. Agatha's Tower was the last large-bastioned tower to be built in Malta.
A tunnel complex dug out during World War II as a bomb shelter. Bits of information are scattered about but the main point of interest is the size of the tunnel dug out with basic tools. Talk to the ticket seller for a more detailed account of the history. Located just off Parish square (follow the alley with painted murals).
Around 140 species of migrating birds are seen annually in this reserve.
