Windmill Redoubt (original) (raw)
Windmill Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott tal-Mitħna) was a redoubt in Żabbar, Malta. It was built by Maltese insurgents during the French blockade of 1798–1800. It was part of a chain of batteries, redoubts and entrenchments encircling the French positions in Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour. The Windmill Redoubt was probably demolished soon after the end of the blockade since it blocked important roads. The windmill itself still exists, with some modifications, and it now stands on the middle of a roundabout.

| dbo:abstract | Windmill Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott tal-Mitħna) was a redoubt in Żabbar, Malta. It was built by Maltese insurgents during the French blockade of 1798–1800. It was part of a chain of batteries, redoubts and entrenchments encircling the French positions in Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour. The redoubt was built around a windmill known as Bir Għeliem, or Ta' Buleben, which had been built by Ramon Perellos y Roccaful in around 1710. The redoubt was located on the road between Żabbar and Tarxien, and was also linked to the road to Żejtun. The redoubt was built using rubble walls, and had a triangular shape, and was built in a way so as to block the roads between the three villages. The windmill occupied the south side of the redoubt, and was used as a blockhouse. The windmill's tower served as a lookout post. No details are known about the size of the garrison and the armament of the redoubt. The Windmill Redoubt was probably demolished soon after the end of the blockade since it blocked important roads. The windmill itself still exists, with some modifications, and it now stands on the middle of a roundabout. (en) Reduta Wiatrak (malt. Ridott tal-Mitħna, ang. Windmill Redoubt) – dawna reduta w Żabbar na Malcie. Zbudowana przez powstańców maltańskich podczas blokady Francuzów w latach 1798-1800. Była częścią łańcucha redut, baterii i umocnień okrążających francuskie pozycje w Marsamxett i Grand Harbour. Reduta została zbudowana wokół wiatraka, znanego jako Bir Għeliem lub Ta' Buleben, postawionego przez Ramona Perellos y Roccaful około roku 1710. Znajdowała się przy drodze z Żabbar a Tarxien i była również połączona z drogą do Żejtun. Zbudowano ją z gruzu ze zburzonych murów i nadano kształt trójkąta. Postawiona została na skrzyżowaniu trzech dróg, blokując dojazd do trzech miejscowości. Wiatrak zajmował południową stronę reduty i był używany był jako blokhauz. Wieża wiatraka służyła jako wieża obserwacyjna. Nie są znane szczegóły dotyczące liczebności załogi reduty ani jej uzbrojenia. Reduta została zburzona najprawdopodobniej zaraz po zakończeniu oblężenia, gdyż blokowała trzy ważne drogi. Wiatrak, z pewnymi modyfikacjami, wciąż istnieje i stoi teraz na środku ronda. (pl) |
