Qawra Tower
This tower also known as Ta` Fra Ben was built in 1637 at the expense of the Universita, the Islands’ Government. It followed a standard pattern adopted for other watch-towers. They were designed to keep the surrounding area under surveillance and to relay warning signals to other towers.
Salt Pans at Salina
In the 1560s La Vallette constructed these pans to replace the more exposed ones at Mellieha (Ghadira). Salt was exported to various countries. They fell into disuse in 1798 but were later repaired by the British administration.
Qawra Parish Church
Dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, this modern church saw its beginning in 1993. It is quite revolutionary and original in its architecture. The objective of beauty and functionality are served in an optical cohesion by its Architect Richard England.
