Ta’ Sciuta Tower at Wied iż-Żurrieq was built at the time of Grand Master Jean Paul Lascaris de Castellar (1635 – 1657) in 1640. It was one the last towers to be built under this Grand Master. It still has an original Knights period cannon on its roof.

It served as a coastal look-out post right up till the late nineteenth century. Until 2002 the tower served as a police station.

In March 2013 Din l-Art Ħelwa has been entrusted by the Government with the management, care and conservation of this tower. The Guardianship Deed is for a period of 10 years.
