Saint Agatha's Tower (), also known as the Red Tower (), Mellieħa Tower () or Fort Saint Agatha (), is a large bastioned watchtower in Mellieħa, Malta. It was built between 1647 and 1649, as the sixth of the Lascaris towers. The tower's design is completely different from the rest of the Lascaris towers, but it is similar to the earlier Wignacourt towers. St. Agatha's Tower was the last large bastioned tower to be built in Malta. Read more on Wikipedia
