Three years of restoration work on Torri L-Abjad (the White Tower) in Marfa were formally completed with a reopening ceremony on Wednesday.
The watchtower was built in 1658 by the Knights of St John, along with 12 others dotting the coastline.
The newly restored tower will be open to the public for educational purposes.
Part of the tower will offer dormitory facilities for groups while another section features information on the cultural heritage of the area.
The tower also includes a marine education centre for children.
The restoration works were handled by Din l-Art Ħelwa, whose head of restoration, Stanley Farrugia Randon, said the structure was in a state of disrepair.
