- Ta' Għemmuna Battery (Maltese: Batterija ta' Għemmuna) was an artillery battery in St. Julian's, Malta, that was built by Maltese insurgents during the French blockade of 1798–1800. The battery was located at Dragonara Point, in front of the Hospitaller entrenchments at Spinola. The battery had a large parapet with nine embrasures and a magazine. It was armed with seven guns, which had been taken from St. Mary's Tower and St. Paul's Bay. The battery was built by Vincenzo Borg in February 1799, after a French force of around 30 ships was sighted close to the Maltese coast. The battery was built to prevent a French relief force from landing at St. Julian's Bay and St. George's Bay, therefore protecting other insurgent positions from the rear. The battery had a hexagonal parapet design which was designed by Francesco Sammut on payment by Borg. A rough sketch of the battery by Sammut still exists and was retrieved by Architect Andre Zammit. The battery still existed in 1811, but it was eventually demolished. Its site is now occupied by the Dragonara Palace, which was built in 1870 and is now a casino. (en)
- Bateria Ta’ Għemmuna (malt. Batterija ta’ Għemmuna, ang. Ta’ Għemmuna Battery) – nieistniejąca już bateria artyleryjska w St. Julian’s na Malcie, zbudowana przez powstańców maltańskich podczas blokady Francuzów w latach 1798–1800. Ulokowana na Dragonara Point, przed umocnieniami (entrenchments), zbudowanymi przez Joannitów w Spinoli. Bateria posiadała magazyn i duży parapet z dziewięcioma strzelnicami. Uzbrojenie stanowiło siedem dział, zabranych z Wieży Świętej Marii, oraz Saint Paul’s Bay. Bateria zbudowana została przez Vincenzo Borga w lutym 1799 roku, po tym, gdy blisko wybrzeża Malty zaobserwowano około 30 francuskich okrętów. Zadaniem baterii było zapobiec lądowaniu francuskich sił pomocniczych w zatokach St. Julian’s Bay i St. George’s Bay, jak również osłaniać zaplecze innych stanowisk powstańców. Bateria wciąż istniała w roku 1811, lecz została później zburzona. Na jej miejscu wznosi się Dragonara Palace, zbudowany w roku 1870, w którym współcześnie mieści się kasyno. (pl)
