Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Xrobb l-Għaġin Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' Xrobb l-Għaġin), originally known as Torre di Siuarep, is a ruined watchtower in Xrobb l-Għaġin, limits of Marsaxlokk, Malta. It was built in 1659 as the eighth of the De Redin towers. An entrenchment with two redans was built around it in 1761. The tower is now largely destroyed since it was built of globigerina limestone which is prone to erosion. The remains of the tower's scarped base, as well as the general outline of the entrenchment, can still be seen.

Summary from Język polski / Polish Wikipedia (plwiki)

Wieża Xrobb l-Għaġin (malt. Torri ta’ Xrobb l-Għaġin, ang. Xrobb l-Għaġin Tower), pierwotnie znana jako Torre di Siuarep – zrujnowana wieża strażnicza w Xrobb l-Għaġin, w granicach Marsaxlokk na Malcie. Zbudowana została w roku 1659 jako ósma z wież de Redina. W roku 1761 wokół wieży zbudowano umocnienie (entrenchment) z dwoma redanami. W chwili obecnej wieża jest mocno zrujnowana, gdyż zbudowana została z wapienia maltańskiego, łatwo podatnego na erozję. Pozostałości ukośnej podstawy wieży, jak również ogólny zarys umocnienia są ciągle widoczne.
