Elminiech Battery (Шаблон:Lang-mt), also known as Figuella Battery (Шаблон:Lang-mt), San Raimondo Battery (Шаблон:Lang-mt)[1] or Oitelboura Battery,[2] was an artillery battery in Birżebbuġa, Malta. It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715–16 as part of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands.[3]
Elminiech Battery was part of a chain of fortifications that defended Marsaxlokk Bay, which also included six other batteries, the large Saint Lucian Tower, two smaller De Redin towers, four redoubts and three entrenchments.[4] The nearest fortifications to Elminiech Battery were the Birżebbuġa Entrenchments to the northwest and Fresnoy Redoubt to the east. Construction of the battery cost 1451 scudi.[5]
The battery was demolished, and its site is now occupied by part of the Malta Freeport.[6]
