  • Wieża zegarowa w Birgu (malt. It-Torri tal-Arloġġ tal-Birgu, ang. Birgu Clock Tower), znana też jako Vittoriosa Clock Tower, a pierwotnie jako Civic Clock Tower – była to wieża zegarowa w Birgu na Malcie. Znajdowała się na Victory Square, głównym placu miasta, i była znaczącym punktem orientacyjnym w Birgu i okolicy. Wieżę zbudowano prawdopodobnie w wiekach średnich, chociaż niektóre źródła podają, że powstała w roku 1549. Służyła jako strażnica, zapewniając dobry widok na Grand Harbour i okoliczny teren. Używana była podczas Wielkiego Oblężenia Malty w roku 1565. Zegar zainstalowano na wieży w XVII wieku. Konstrukcja została zniszczona podczas bombardowania lotniczego w czasie II wojny światowej. Część fundamentów wciąż jest zachowana; istnieją plany odbudowania budynku. (pl)
