Dahlet Qorrot Watch Tower - Nadur, Gozo - by Anton Said

This tower is situated at the edge of a cliff between San Blas Bay and Dahlet Qorrot Bay. It was built during 1667 by Grand Master Nicholas Cottoner to guard this part of Gozo from the warships of the Turks who at that time sailed between Gozo and Sicily.

Dahlet Qorrot Tower or “Torri ta’ Sopu” as it is generally called, is unique of its kind in Gozo, and resisted the incursions of the French troops on 10 June 1798, who landed on this part to capture Gozo.
