  • Saint Mary's Battery (Maltese: Batterija ta' Santa Marija), also known as Qolla s-Safra Battery (Maltese: Batterija tal-Qolla s-Safra) or Gironda Battery (Maltese: Batterija ta' Gironda), was an artillery battery in Marsalforn, limits of Żebbuġ, Gozo, Malta. It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715 as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands. The battery formed part of a chain of fortifications built to defend Marsalforn and nearby bays from Ottoman or Barbary attacks. Although the area was fortified by a number of towers, batteries, redoubts and entrenchments, all of these have been destroyed except for Qolla l-Bajda Battery between Qbajjar and Xwejni Bays. The battery consisted of a semi-circular gun platform ringed by a parapet, and two blockhouses joined together by a wall. It has been demolished and no remains can be seen. (en)
  • Bateria Świętej Marii (malt. Batterija ta' Santa Marija, ang. Saint Mary's Battery), znana też jako Bateria Qolla s-Safra (malt. Batterija tal-Qolla s-Safra, ang. Qolla s-Safra Battery) lub Bateria Gironda (malt. Batterija ta' Gironda, ang. Gironda Battery), była to bateria artyleryjska w Marsalforn, części Żebbuġ, na Gozo, Malta. Została zbudowana przez Zakon Rycerzy Joannitów w latach 1715-1716, jako jedna z serii fortyfikacji nadbrzeżnych dokoła Wysp Maltańskich. Bateria stanowiła ogniwo łańcucha fortyfikacji, ochraniających Marsalforn i pobliskie zatoki przed atakami Turków i piratów berberyjskich. Chociaż teren ten był ufortyfikowany przez szereg wież, baterii, redut i umocnień (entrenchment), wszystkie one zostały zniszczone, poza baterią Qolla l-Bajda, leżącą między zatokami Qbajjar i Xwejni. Bateria składała się z półkolistej platformy artyleryjskiej, otoczonej przez parapet, oraz dwóch blokhauzów, połączonych murem. Bateria została zburzona i nie pozostały po niej żadne widoczne ślady.
