Triq il-Wiesgħa Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' Triq il-Wiesgħa), originally known as Torre della Giddida and also called Mwejġel Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' Mwejġel or Torri tal-Imwiegħel), is a small watchtower near Żabbar, Malta. It was built in 1659 as the ninth of the thirteen De Redin towers. The tower suffered extensive damage in the 20th century, with parts of the structure being demolished, but it was restored in 2008 and 2009 and is now in good condition.
