Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Bengħisa Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' Bengħisa), originally known as Torre di Benissa and also referred to as the Red Tower (Maltese: Torri l-Aħmar), was a small watchtower in Bengħisa, within the limits of Birżebbuġa, Malta. It was built in 1659 as the seventh of the De Redin towers, on or near the site of a medieval watch post. An entrenchment was built around the tower in 1761, and it was armed with 10 guns.
