Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq Redoubt (( マルタ語:Ridott ta' Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq)) is a redoubt in Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, limits of Naxxar, Malta. It was built in 1715–1716 by the Order of Saint John as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands. Today, the redoubt still exists and is in relatively good condition. It is also known as Vendôme Redoubt (( マルタ語:Ridott ta' Vendôme)) or Madliena Redoubt (( マルタ語:Ridott tal-Madliena)). ==History== Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq Redoubt was built in 1715–1716 as part of the first building programme of redoubts in Malta. The nearest fortifications to the redoubt were Qalet Marku Battery to the northwest (now demolished) and Madliena Tower to the east. The redoubt was originally linked to the latter tower by an entrenchment, but very little remains of this have survived. The redoubt consists of a pentagonal platform with short flanks and a low parapet, with a rectangular blockhouse located at the centre of its gorge. The blockhouse is divided into two rooms, with the larger room containing the main entrance. In World War II, a defensive position was built on the salient of the redoubt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq Redoubt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
