  • Capuchin Convent Battery (Maltese: Batterija tal-Kunvent tal-Kapuċċini), also known as Kalkara Battery (Maltese: Batterija tal-Kalkara), was an artillery battery in Kalkara, Malta, built by Maltese insurgents during the French blockade of 1798–1800. It was part of a chain of batteries, redoubts and entrenchments encircling the French positions in Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour. Capuchin Convent Battery was built overlooking Kalkara Creek. The battery was located adjacent to a Capuchin convent which had been built between 1736 and 1743. The convent sheltered it from bombardment from the nearby Cottonera Lines and the Post of Castile. It was medium-sized, and it blocked a country lane which led towards the creek. Its armament is not known. The battery was possibly built by Alexander Ball. Construction started in January 1799, and was completed within a month. Like the other French blockade fortifications, the battery was dismantled, possibly sometime after 1814. No traces of the battery can be seen today, but the convent still exists, although it has been modified. (en)
  • Bateria Klasztor Kapucynów (malt. Batterija tal-Kunvent tal-Kapuċċini, ang. Capuchin Convent Battery), znana też jako Bateria Kalkara (malt. Batterija tal-Kalkara, ang. Kalkara Battery) była to bateria artyleryjska w Kalkara na Malcie, zbudowana przez maltańskich powstańców podczas blokady Francuzów w latach 1798-1800. Była ona częścią łańcucha baterii, redut i umocnień otaczających francuskie pozycje w Marsamxett i Grand Harbour. Bateria Klasztor Kapucynów zbudowana została ponad Kalkara Creek. Przylegała ona do zabudowań klasztoru Kapucynów, zbudowanego w latach 1736-1743. Klasztor osłaniał ją przed ostrzałem z pobliskich Cottonera Lines i posterunku Castile. Bateria była średniej wielkości, i blokowała wiejską drogę biegnącą w kierunku zatoczki. Jej uzbrojenie nie jest znane. Została prawdopodobnie zbudowana przez Alexandra Balla. Budowę rozpoczęto w styczniu 1799 roku, w przeciągu miesiąca bateria była gotowa. Podobnie jak inne fortyfikacje blokujące Francuzów, bateria została rozebrana, prawdopodobnie po roku 1814. Nie pozostały po niej żadne widoczne ślady; klasztor istnieje do dzisiaj, choć nieco zmodyfikowany. (pl)
