Qawra Tower (Torri tal-Qawra), auch bekannt als Torri ta' Fra Ben, ist ein kleiner Wachtturm in Qawra. 1638 wurde er als vierter der Lascaris-Türme in der Nähe der Spitze des Qawra Point’s erbaut. 1715 wurde der Turm mit einer Artillerie-Batterie erweitert. Der Turm sicherte im Westen den Eingang zur St. Paul’s Bay und die Salina Bay im Osten. Ab 1659 stand er in mit den De Redin Türmen Tal-Għallis im Westen und mit Ta’ Qalet Marku im Osten in Verbindung. Die Batterie dient heute als Schwimmbad, um den Turm wird das Restaurant Ta Fra Ben betrieben. Der Turm ist in einem schlechten baulichen Zustand.

Obala Sredozmenog mora na ovom mestu zaista oduzima dah. Kafiću nisam mogao da pridjem, kao ni samoj kuli, ali je pogled na stene, talase i predivan bazen na nekih desetak metara odatle, nešto što vredi videti. Vetrovit januarski dan možda i nije bio najbolji momenat za posetu, ali i pored toga je vredelo osetiti vetar i miris joda koji su talasi izbacali u vazduh.

Super místo! Hlavně při západu a východu slunce. Oproti loňsku už tu není loď :-) tu jsem si ještě loni fotil a říkal manželce do telefonu, že až ji uvidí letos, bude se divit. No a ona už je fuč. Na zdejší pláž jsme nechodili, přeci jen velké kameny nemáme rádi.
