About Għajn Tuffieħa Tower
Built in 1637 by Grand Master Lascaris, the small square tower stands on the headland between Għajn Tuffieħa Bay and Golden Bay, with views up and down the coast. A travel guide says Ridley Scott used it for Napoleon's exile on Elba. Only that one source names it, so treat it as reported.
