The Qolla l-Bajda Battery

 The Qolla l-Bajda Battery was built by the Saint John order between 1715 to 1716. It is an artillery battery. It is one in the series of coastal fortifications on the Malta islands. The battery’s original layout was retained until the late 1970s when it was changed into a snack bar, and the discotheque was referred to as Rook. Around this time, the battery underwent some major alterations. However, now the building is in a delipidated state and is completely abandoned. This is because the battery is stuck in an illegal battle between a private company and the government. This is one of the two surviving batteries present in Gozo. The other battery which is survived is the sent Anthony’s battery in Qala.
