city situated on top of the highest hill
of Victoria, reminiscent of Mdina. Until
1637, the island’s inhabitants were
required to spend each night inside the
Citadel walls, as there were frequent
pirate assaults and kidnappings. There
is the magnificent Cathedral which is
well-worth a visit, as well as several
Museums to see, such as the Museum
of Archaeology and of Folklore. Take a
look from the Citadel’s walls to behold
all of Gozo beneath you!
Interesting fact: There are also fields
in the Citadel, which were designed to
provide nourishment should the island
be kept under siege inside the Citadel
for a long time!
