Aħrax Tower (), originally known as Torre di Lacras, and also known as Armier Tower (), Ta' Ħoslien Tower () or the White Tower (), is a small watchtower overlooking Armier Bay in the limits of Mellieħa, Malta. It was built in 1658 as the sixth of the De Redin towers. An artillery battery was built around it in 1715. Today, the tower and battery are intact. After receiving 3 years of restoration work the tower was reopened to the public on the 9th of June 2021. Read more on Wikipedia
