Għallis Tower (( マルタ語:Torri tal-Għallis)), originally known as ''Torre delle Saline'',〔 〕 is a small watchtower in Salina, limits of Naxxar, Malta. It was completed in 1658 as the second of the De Redin towers. Today, the tower is in good condition. ==History== Għallis Tower was built in 1658 on the eastern shore of Għallis Point (( マルタ語:Ras l-Għallis)), commanding the entrance to Salina Bay along with Qawra Tower, one of the Lascaris towers. The tower was built on or near the site of a medieval watch post. It follows the standard design of the De Redin towers, having a square plan with two floors and a turret on the roof. The external wall is made of upper coralline limestone which is weather resistant while the inner wall is made of the softer globogerina limestone. It originally had a garrison consisting of a bombardier and three gunners, who manned a three-pounder iron cannon. During the British period, Għallis Tower was modified by opening a doorway at ground level and the insertion of roof slabs.
