Рахилка Симоноваa week agoОne of the most beautiful and historic places on Gozo. Peaceful atmosphere with incredible views over the islands. The outdoor areas are free to access, which makes it easy to spend hours exploring the walls, silos, and hidden corners. There are a few small shops and museums if you’re interested, but simply walking around is already a memorable experience.
Jack Clement2 months agoThe Citadel in Gozo: A Timeless Treasure. Perched atop Victoria’s skyline, the Citadel is a crown jewel of Gozo’s history. Stepping through its ancient gates feels like traveling back in time—this UNESCO-tentative fortress has guarded the island for centuries, and its weathered walls whisper tales of knights, invasions, and resilience.
The panoramic views alone are worth the visit. From the ramparts, you’ll see Gozo’s patchwork of fields, terracotta rooftops, and the distant Mediterranean shimmering under the sun. Inside, the Citadel’s maze of cobbled lanes leads to quiet chapels, the imposing Cathedral of the Assumption, and the fascinating Gozo Museum of Archaeology. Don’t miss the Old Prison, where centuries-old graffiti etched by inmates still lingers on cell walls.
What makes the Citadel special is its lived-in charm. Unlike sterile museums, locals still stroll its paths, and artisans sell lace and pottery near the square. Visit at sunset for golden-hour photos or early morning to have the stones (almost) to yourself. Wear comfy shoes—the climbs are steep, but every step rewards you with history and beauty.
Whether you’re a history buff, photographer, or simply seeking Gozo’s soul, the Citadel delivers. A must-visit, and a reminder of how small islands can hold the grandest stories.
