A visit to the citadel is a must and the fatigue of going up the hill is fully rewarded. From the fortifications, there is a superb view all around the horizon with vistas over the tiny fields cut by yellow stone walls, domes of village churches rising from clusters of houses and the Gordan Lighthouse.

The most impressive of all is the cathedral, dedicated to Santa Marija, the Assumption. A painting on the interior of the temple gives the impression of a dome when in reality the roof of the building is flat.

While on Gozo do not miss a walk in the early morning along the salt pans to watch the salt being collected and enjoy the unique and captivating landscape of mounds of white salt shimmering under the sun.
