Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Gourgion Tower (Maltese: It-Torri ta' Gourgion or It-Torri Gorġun, Italian: Torre Gourgion) was a fortified house in the outskirts of Xewkija, Gozo, Malta. The tower was built by Giovanni Gourgion in 1690, and it became a symbol of the village of Xewkija. Despite being listed on the Antiquities List in 1925, it was demolished by American forces in 1943 to make way for an airfield for the Allied invasion of Sicily.

Summary from Język polski / Polish Wikipedia (plwiki)

Wieża Gourgion (malt. It-Torri ta' Gourgion, It-Torri Gorġun, wł. Torre Gourgion, ang. Gourgion Tower) - nieistniejący ufortyfikowany budynek mieszkalny w formie wieży, stojący na obrzeżach Xewkija na wyspie Gozo, Malta. Wieża zbudowana została w roku 1690 przez Giovanniego Gourgion, i szybko stała się symbolem wioski Xewkija. Mimo że w roku 1925 umieszczona została na Liście Zabytków, została zburzona przez armię amerykańską, aby zrobić miejsce na lotnisko polowe podczas alianckiej inwazji na Sycylię.
