The Fortifications of Senglea in the Three Cities, Malta, are a series of defensive walls and bastions that were constructed in the 16th century by the Order of Saint John. Designed to protect the city from naval and land attacks, these fortifications played a crucial role during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. Notable features include the Gardjola Watchtower, which offers panoramic views of the Grand Harbour, and the extensive bastions and curtain walls that surround the city.
