Set the scene.
The tower associated with Grand Master Martin Garzes overlooked Mġarr and helped protect traffic between Malta and Gozo.

Why it still matters.
Imagine following a stone from a defensive wall into a road. Reuse can erase a building’s outline while keeping its material within the working landscape.
