Sciuta Tower (( マルタ語:Torri ta' Xuta)), also known as Sciutu Tower (( マルタ語:Torri ta' Xutu)) or Wied iż-Żurrieq Tower (( マルタ語:Torri ta' Wied iż-Żurrieq)), is a small watchtower in Qrendi, Malta. It was completed in 1638 as the fifth of the Lascaris towers. The tower was in a dilapidated state but it is currently being restored by Din l-Art Ħelwa. ==History== Sciuta Tower was built in 1638 in Wied iż-Żurrieq, close to Qrendi, on the site of a medieval watch post. It served as the prototype for the De Redin towers, which were built between 1658 and 1659. After the British took over Malta in 1800, Sciuta Tower remained in use and was manned by the Royal Malta Fencible Regiment and later the Royal Malta Fencible Artillery. It was abandoned in 1873 but was manned by the Coast Police once again during World War II. The tower subsequently used as a police station until 2002. An original cannon dating back to the Order's rule can still be found on the tower's roof.
