Gozo's Essential Wonders

Gozo’s landscape is defined by its geological formations and ancient human history. This list features the Ġgantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to 3600 BC, and the historic St. George's Basilica. Natural highlights include the red sands of Ramla Bay and the Dwejra Inland Sea, a lagoon connected to the Mediterranean through a natural tunnel. The island’s coastline is marked by traditional 350-year-old rock-cut salt pans and 17th-century watchtowers like those at Xlendi and Mgarr ix-Xini, originally built for coastal defense.
