Gozo's Sacred Architecture
Gozo’s skyline is defined by its disproportionately large stone churches, ranging from the baroque Cathedral within Victoria's Citadel to the neo-Romanesque Ta' Pinu National Shrine. This collection includes the Xewkija Rotunda, featuring one of the world's largest unsupported domes, and various village parish churches built from local globigerina limestone. These structures serve as community hubs, showcasing intricate stone carvings, marble interiors, and significant religious art that reflects the island’s centuries-old Catholic traditions.
