This is a stunning place rich in history. I don't think it would be that great for really young children or the elderly as the steel spiral staircase that leads up to the living area is a doozy! Then there a steps leading up again to the roof, from where the views (right across to st. Paul's island) are simply stunning. Well worth the €2 an adult, children are free, for the views alone. Best to go fairly early, before it gets too hot, as they close at 1pm.

A set of high rock cliffs offers excellent views of the surrounding coastal area! The tower has a beautiful and large terrace with benches for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view. The terrace also represents a nice place where various performances of local performers are held. The historical significance of the tower certainly represents an additional reason not to bypass, if you are nearby.

Mesmerising and hypnotising time travelling journey. I literally forget to blink my eyes. It’s a glimpse of ancient weapons and accessories from British era at the time of world war 1. And magnificent view of Mediterranean from the rooftop of watchtower. It was originally built in 10of February 1610. Malta’s hidden treasure. ❤️

Great Tower with a great history. Only 2 Eur to get to the roof and enjoy the view of the bay. Exists due to an enthusiasm of volunteers. This is the oldest of a chain of towers which are an jnduspensable part of Maltese coastline and history.

Great view from the base, but couldn't enter the tower and look around from the top - for some unknown reason it was closed, despite the time (12:30) within opening hours. There is a paper card on the doors that say it can happen though...

Wieża strażnicza z początku XVII wieku, na krańcu miasta Bugibba w St Paul's Bay na Malcie. Masywna, charakterystyczna budowla, wewnątrz niewielkie muzeum, a tuż obok pomnik markizy Anny Bugeja, fundatorki St Paul's Bay. Spacer promenadą zapewnia niesamowite widoki, a wokół też przykłady pięknej architektury maltańskiej. Skierujcie się również do Kościoła św Pawła Rozbitka. Rozbicie jego statku właśnie w St Paul's Bay i wylądowanie na Malcie około 60 roku naszej ery upamiętnia ten mały kościółek. Niedaleko wieży znajduje się też świetne miejsce na poranną kawę i maltańską fitrę - PRZEPYSZNĄ kanapkę, ale to już inna opinia...

Description
Wignacourt Tower, also known as Saint Paul's Bay Tower, is a bastioned watchtower in St. Paul's Bay, Malta. It was the first of six Wignacourt towers to be built, and the first stone was laid on 10 February 1610. It replaced the role of Ta' Tabibu farmhouse which was previously known as Dejma Tower.
