Madliena Tower, constructed in 1658 on the north shore of Malta, stands on elevated ground above the shore west of Ras l-Irqiqa in Madliena, Pembroke. It was built on or near the site of a medieval watch post. Positioned between Saint Mark's Tower to the west and Saint George's Tower to the east, Madliena Tower initially followed the standard design of the De Redin towers. The original design featured a square plan with two floors and a turret on the roof. However, sometime after 1741, a fougasse - a type of improvised explosive device, was excavated in the rocks near the tower. Additionally, an entrenchment was constructed in the vicinity of the tower during the 18th century, but little remains of it today.
