Gozo:

Dwejra (Il-Qawra) Tower (1652), Dwejra - This tower is opened jointly by Din L-Art Ħelwa and Naturetrust Malta, the latter being the NGO responsible for the Dwejra Heritage Park in which Dwejra Tower is located.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Sundays and public holidays: noon to 3 p.m. The tower is open when the flag is hoisted.

Isopu Tower (1667), Nadur - This tower is opened jointly by Din l-Art Ħelwa and Nadur council on the first and third Sundays of each month from 9.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Situated in a beautiful high location between Ġebel Mistra and San Blas Bay and Daħlet Qorret in the north-east of Gozo, it is an ideal location for a walk amid breathtaking scenery.

The Great Fountain (1698), Lunzjata Valley - The Great Fountain located just below the Church of St Gregory is approached from the entrance arch into the valley, only a short distance from Victoria on the road to Kerċem. Recently restored by Din l-Art Ħelwa. It can be viewed all day.

St Anthony Battery ( 1734), Qala - Din L-Art Ħelwa and Qala council are are currently restoring this coastal defence. Accessible at all times.

Comino:

Santa Marija Tower (1618) - Fully restored by Din l-Art Ħelwa, 230 feet above sea level, a watch tower built to defend the channels between Gozo and Malta with a stunning view of Comino's waters. Open on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from April to end of October. It is normally open between 10.30 a.m. and 1 p.m. It is open when the flag is hoisted.

Santa Marija Gun Battery (1715) - This coastal battery is always open. Behind the semi-circular enciente facing the bay, two 24-pounder and four six-pounder guns were mounted to be fired from eight brasurers, four of which remain.

Also worth a visit are the Santa Marija Chapel, the cemetery and the isolation hospital. Viewable from the outside. The chapel is sometimes open.

All towers are available for viewing by schools, organisations or groups by special arrangement, as well as for private functions.
