Żonqor Battery (( マルタ語:Batterija taż-Żonqor)) is an artillery battery in Marsaskala, Malta, standing on high ground overlooking Marsaskala Bay. It is a polygonal fort and was built by the British from 1882 to 1886. ==History== Żonqor Battery was built by the British between 1882 and 1886 at a cost of £5000. It has a pentagonal shape, and it is surrounded by a 6 metre wide ditch. The firing positions and ammunition depots were located below ground level to protect them from enemy fire. Its gun crew and garrison were stationed at the nearby Fort Leonardo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.douzelage.org/fileadmin/Documents/2009_Altea/ANNEX_K_Marsaskala.pdf )〕 Soon after being completed, the battery was found out to be inadequate since the range of its RML 7 inch guns did not reach the area of the bay they were supposed to defend. Due to this, new plans were made to defend the bay by Governor John Simmons, but these were never implemented. The battery's guns were eventually dismantled, and in World War II, the battery was used as a warehouse for ammunition.
