Wignacourt Tower was built by Grandmaster Alof de Wignacourt in 1610 to guard the bay from any sea-borne attacks, it was the first of a series of coastal towers. From 1610-49, Wignacourt Tower was Malta's northernmost defensive outpost until St Agatha's Tower (the Red Tower) was built in Mellieha. 4yrs after it was built, a strong attack by Turkish fleets was launched.
Fra Alof de Wignacourt (1547 -- 1622) was Grandmaster of the Knights Hospitaller of St. John from 1601 to 1622. He was of the langue of France.
His reign was notable for the construction of a number of coastal fortifications (the Wignacourt Towers) and of the aqueduct that brought water from the plateau above Rabat to Valletta.
