Dwejra Tower was completed in 1652 under the reign of Grand Master Jean de Lascaris-Castellar. Like almost all Lascaris Towers, it was designed as a guard to give early warning of approaching enemy ships. In the 18th century, the tower was still manned and armed with two six-pounders, which, however, were more used to send signals and were not designed for combat. Between 1839 and 1873 the - now British - crew of the tower consisted of soldiers from the Royal Malta Fencible Artillery, then it was abandoned. In 1956 the tower was leased to a private individual for 50 years, but later it came into the possession of Dín l-Art Ħelwa on loan. This organization started restoration work in 1997, which ended in 1999. A large part of the stone blocks outside was replaced, stone tiles were laid inside.
