Cumbo Tower

The Cumbo Tower (Torri Cumbo), is a national monument of medieval origin in the town of Mosta which served as a stronghold during its time. The tower is a two-storey building adorned with a niche on the main façade and surrounded by extensive gardens.

History
The medieval tower is said to have been owned by Julius Cumbo, a renowned criminal lawyer and state jurat of the Università of Mdina. During 1526 the tower may have played a role in the abduction of prisoners from the locality.

Nowadays, the tower hosts a reservoir belonging to Malta's Water Services Corporation which receives water from Chadwick Lakes through an underground channel.
