Arrias Battery
Arrias Battery (( マルタ語:Batterija ta' Arrias)), also known as Xemxija Battery (( マルタ語:Batterija tax-Xemxija)) or Pwales Left Battery (( マルタ語:Batterija tax-Xellug tal-Pwales)), is a redoubt in Xemxija Bay, limits of St. Paul's Bay, Malta. It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715–1716 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands. It is now used as a restaurant.
==History==
Arrias Battery was built in 1715–1716 as part of the Order of Saint John's first building program of batteries and redoubts around the coasts of Malta. It was one of two redoubts defending Xemxija Bay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lc.gov.mt/Page.aspx?catid=53&pid=184&lid=1 )〕 The redoubt on the other side of the bay, known as Dellija Redoubt, was demolished in 1924.
The redoubt originally consisted of a mostly rectangular platform with a rounded end at the north. It had a low parapet with one embrasure, and the gorge was closed off by a rectangular blockhouse. The redoubt was named after the knight Emmanuele Arrias, and an inscription commemorating him is located above the main entrance.
The redoubt eventually became a summer residence of the Borg Cardona family. They called it ''ix-Xemxija'' and later, the area around it began to be referred to by that name.
