Description

Batteriet Qolla l-Bajda er en befæstning bygget i det 18. århundrede under Johanniterordenen på øen Gozo. Det er Maltas nordligste historiske befæstning og en af de to tilbageværende kystbatterier på Gozo.

Under stormestrene Wignacourt, Lascaris og de Redin havde johanniterne i det 17. århundrede omkranset øerne Malta, Gozo og Comino med et tæt net af kystvagttårne. Disse havde til opgave at tidligt opdage tilnærmelsen af en fjendtlig flåde og alarmere garnisonerne i de befæstede byer. De var dog for svage til direkte at bekæmpe korsarer eller fjendtlige tropper. I 1714 udarbejdede de franske befæstningsingeniører Jacques de Camus d’Arginy, Bernard de Fontet og François Bachelieu en plan for etablering af befæstede forsvarspositioner – kanonbatterier og redouter – på alle flade og dermed landingsudsatte kystafsnit for at kunne beskytte skibe og landende tropper under artilleribeskydning.
