m

Vendôme Tower (Maltese: Torri Vendôme, colloquially Torri tal-Vandomu) is a tour-reduit in Marsaxlokk, Malta. It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715 as one of a series of fortifications around the coasts of the Maltese Islands. It is the only surviving tour-reduit in Malta. Today, Vendôme Tower houses the headquarters of Marsaxlokk F.C. The tour-reduit is also known by several other names, including Vendôme Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott ta' Vendôme), Qrajten Redoubt or Craite Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott tal-Qrajten) and Fisheries Redoubt.
