Briconet Redoubt
Briconet Redoubt (( マルタ語:Ridott ta' Briconet)), also known as Marsaskala Redoubt (( マルタ語:Ridott ta' Marsaskala)), is a redoubt in Marsaskala, 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 is used as a police station.
==History==
Briconet Redoubt was built in 1715–1716 as part of the first building programme of coastal batteries and redoubts in Malta. It formed part of the defences of Marsaskala Bay, which also included the large St. Thomas Tower and Battery and the now demolished Żonqor Tower.
Briconet Redoubt's structure is typical of most other coastal redoubts built in Malta. It consists of a pentagonal platform having short flanks, and a rectangular blockhouse sealing off the gorge. Unlike other redoubts, the gorge and flanks have high boundary walls pierced by musketry loopholes. These were built to defend the redoubt from a landward attack, since it is overlooked by high ground.
Construction of the redoubt cost 768 scudi. These were paid by the knight Giovanni Battista Briconet, and the redoubt was named in his honour. The redoubt was initially garrisoned by militia from Żejtun.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://marsaskala.lc.com.mt/fortifications/ )〕
