The Dwejra Watch Tower was built in 1652. Its role was the defence of Dwejra Bay and the guarding of Fungus Rock (were there is a type of fungus which was thought to cure many diseases). During the course of history there were a small number of alterations in the building itself. In both World Wars it served as an Observation Post. This tower was restored just a few years ago.
