Qawra from Salina Bay

Qawra (pronounced with a silent "q") extends southwards from Bugibba and links up to Salina Bay.

Qawra is popular among tourists and offers plenty of leisurely activities including restaurans, shops and a number of bars and nightclubs.

Although there is no beach in Qawra, many swim and bathe off the rocks, which provide ample space for sun bathing.

View of Qawra with the tower far on

the right

Qawra watch tower was built in 1637 during the grandmastership of Fra Jean de Lascaris Castellar at the head of St. Paul's Bay (far on the right side of my picture).

The tower was included in the communication system created by the De Redin Watch Towers in 1657 and in 1715 a battery was built around the watch tower.

Qawra Tower is probably not as famous as other towers in the area due also to the fact that lately it was transformed and it is used today as restaurant and swimming pool.

Salt pans in Salina Bay - Qawra

Not really a tourist's attraction in the area, the salt pans in Salina Bay, at the entrace to the Qawra, are used for producing sea salt.

Malta's salt pans are a source of continued re-generation of salt deposits, a tradition that spans many centuries and it is still used today.
