Crivelli Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott ta' Crivelli), also known as Barriera Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott tal-Barriera) or Armier Redoubt (Maltese: Ridott tal-Armier), is a redoubt in Armier Bay, Mellieħa, Malta. It was built by the Order of Saint John in 1715–1716 as part of a series of coastal fortifications around the Maltese Islands. Today, the redoubt is in good condition.
In the early 19th century, Crivelli Redoubt was also known as La Canniere Redoubt.[1]
