Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Garzes Tower (Maltese: Torri Garzes, Italian: Torre Garzes or Torre della Garza), also known as Saint Martin's Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' San Martin), was a watchtower built in Mġarr, Gozo by the Order of Saint John in 1605. It was named after Martin Garzez, the Grand Master who financed its construction, even though it was eventually built after his death during the Magistry of Alof de Wignacourt. The tower was demolished in the 19th century; some remains were reused for the building of a bridge, and the site was developed with a hotel.

Summary from Język polski / Polish Wikipedia (plwiki)

Wieża Garzes (malt. Torri Garzes, ang. Garzes Tower), znana też jako Wieża św. Marcina (malt. Torri ta' San Martin, ang. Saint Martin's Tower) – była to wieża strażnicza zbudowana w Mġarr na Gozo przez Zakon Joannitów w latach 1605–1607. Była nazwana na cześć Martina Garzez, Wielkiego Mistrza Zakonu, który sfinansował jej budowę, jakkolwiek wykonano ją po jego śmierci. Wieża została zburzona w połowie XIX wieku.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

St Martin’s Tower, auch Garzes Tower, italienisch Torre Garzes genannt, war der erste von den Johannitern errichtete Wachturm auf den maltesischen Inseln. Er diente als Vorbild der kurz darauf erbauten Wignacourt Towers und wird aufgrund seiner Entstehungszeit mitunter zu diesen Türmen gerechnet. Das Befestigungsbauwerk überwachte den Hafen von Mġarr auf der Insel Gozo.
