Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Ta' Ċieda Tower, also known as San Ġwann Roman Tower, is a Punic-Roman tower in San Ġwann, Malta. The exact origins of the tower could date back to pre-history with different architecture. It is argued that the tower could be of Punic origins rather than Roman but the latter have adapted it. The site of the tower was used as a cemetery, or more, during the Muslim caliphate in the medieval times. Following the expulsion of the Muslims in Malta a church dedicated to St. Helen was built on the site.

Summary from Język polski / Polish Wikipedia (plwiki)

Wieża Ta' Ċieda (malt. It-Torri ta' Ċieda, ang. Ta' Ċieda Tower), znana też jako San Ġwann Roman Tower – punicko-rzymska wieża w San Ġwann na Malcie. Okres, z którego pochodzi wieża można cofnąć do prehistorii, z zastrzeżeniem innej jej budowy. Twierdzi się, że wieża może być pochodzenia punickiego raczej, niż rzymskiego, lecz Rzymianie ją przystosowali do swoich potrzeb. W średniowieczu, gdy Malta była pod władzą Arabów, miejsce to było używane jako cmentarz. Po wydaleniu muzułmanów z Malty, w tym miejscu zbudowano kościół dedykowany św. Helenie.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

La Torre Ta' Ċieda, también conocida como Torre romana de San Ġwann, es una torre púnico-romana situada en San Ġwann, Malta. Los orígenes exactos de la torre podrían remontarse a la prehistoria con una arquitectura diferente. Se argumenta que la torre podría ser de origen púnico y no romano, pero que estos últimos la adaptaron. El emplazamiento de la torre se utilizó como cementerio, o más, durante el califato musulmán en la época medieval. Tras la expulsión de los musulmanes de Malta, se construyó en el lugar una iglesia dedicada a Santa Elena.[2]​
