Balbani Battery

Balbani Battery (Batterija ta' Balbani), also known as Bengħisa Battery (Batterija ta' Bengħisa), was an artillery battery in Birżebbuġa, Malta. It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715–1716 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands.

Balbani 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. The nearest fortifications to Balbani Battery were Bengħisa Tower to the south and Fresnoy Redoubt to the west. Construction of the battery cost 1855 scudi. It had a pentagonal platform with a blockhouse at the rear, which was also defended by a redan.

The battery was demolished, and its site is now occupied by part of the Malta Freeport.
