Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Tal-Wejter Tower (Maltese: Torri tal-Wejter - It-Torri Wejter) is a tower in Birkirkara, Malta, which was built in the early 18th century by the Order of Saint John. It is also known locally as it-Torri tal-Misħun (English: Boiling Water Tower), a reference to its machicolations which are known as galleriji tal-misħun in Maltese. The tower was partially demolished in the 1960s, but it was later rebuilt. Today, it is in a rather dilapidated state.

Lokalnie jest również znana jako it-Torri tal-Misħun (pol. Wieża Czajnik ang. Boiling Water Tower), w nawiązaniu do jej machikuł, znanych jako galleriji tal-misħun po maltańsku (galeria z gorącą wodą).
