Vincenti Tower (( マルタ語:Torri Vinċenti)) is a tower in Mqabba, Malta. It was built as a country residence in 1726 by Fra Orfeo de Vincenzo, a Prior of the Order of St. John. The tower was originally four stories high, and it had a scarped base which made it somewhat similar to coastal watchtowers such as the De Redin towers. In World War II, the British military requisitioned the tower and used it as an Observation Post. It was prone to aerial bombardment due to its proximity to the RAF Luqa airfield. It was hit on 12 April 1942, and its upper sections were destroyed. Today, only the scarped base of the tower survives, and it is private property. The tower was scheduled by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority in 1997, and it is also listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands. ==References==
