St George’s Basilica (San Ġorġ), Victoria, Gozo

Highlight • Religious Site

Take a little time to tour this imposing church. It was built at the end of the 17th century and the interior is lavishly decorated. It is also known as "The Golden Church".

Original fortress entrance. You can still see where the drawbridge was.

Xwejni Salt Pans

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

These terracing species are relatively common in the Maltese archipelago, no less fascinating for this.
I recommend getting up early in the morning to see the small shadows created by the transverse light and to take advantage of the cool, the whole route is an exposed area and the sun beats down on the island!
You can get there with a 20/30 min walk along the seafront from Marsalforn.
