Ta’ Cieda Roman Remains - Ta’ Cieda Roman Tower - San Gwann

The Remains of a Roman Watch Tower known as Ta’ Cieda in San Gwann. It is believed to have been part of a chain of towers built as a network to defend the interior of the Island from a maritime invasion. While this tower is mainly believed to be Roman, archaeologists argue that it might have been originally built during Punic or even to some extent prehistoric times, this is due to the fact that attack was less likely during the roman occupation of the Maltese islands. So it is more likely that the Tower was built by the Punic people and then reused and embellished by the Romans. Today only around one third of the tower remains, mainly the base of the structure. It is in a bad state of deterioration, overgrown by vegetation and prone to vandalism, while surrounded by modern housing.
