Ta' Kenuna Tower
Encyclopedia : T : TA : TAK : Ta' Kenuna Tower
Sited on a hill 130 meters above sea level, its purpose was to pass on signals to ships and other posts via a telegraphy link between the two main Maltese islands.
In 2005 the Nadur Local Council with the help of the Maltese telecommunications company Maltacom sponsored the restoration works of the tower [link]. A beacon to warn ships that they are nearing land, as well as a number of communication antennas were installed on the roof.
Today, one can ask permission from the tower's watchman to go on top of the covered roof of the tower for a panoramic view of Gozo, Comino and Malta.
