When we visited the old town there was builders everywhere, the place is getting a new entrance and cobble stones, it didn't look tidy but what can you expect in a building site. The view from the top excellent. We didn't enter the church as we had our quoto of churches for the day. There is a few craft shop inside the walled town.
Although there is major restoration work in progress we still had a fantastic view from the top of the Citadel. A shame many of the museum's were shut. Would like to see what transpires once the work is completed. We went on a Sunday and it was very quiet.
Wonderful 360-degree view around the Gozo. Impressive fortification structures, some interesting museums inside. Thus prices for Prison museum and others could be cheaper...
地势很高,应该算是 一个 fortress吧,用来防御入侵什么的,下面还有一个教堂。去的时候正在修缮所以有点小遗憾啊,不过还是很好看的
The Citadel in Victoria the capital of Gozo is an impressive sight - from a distance only. It is undergoing a very large amount of upgrading work to form a new entrance. The contractors don't seem to have heard of any sort of Health & Safety measures in Gozo - no hard hats, no harnesses for the workers, etc. The whole area is filthy so if you're going make sure you wear old clothes and sensible shoes. The walk up from the city is fairly steep and even the square at the bottom of the road is undergoing a lot of work with dirty lorries reversing everywhere. On the walk up towards the Citadel the situation is even worse with dumper trucks being reversed everywhere without warning and crane buckets swinging over the heads of visitors. Once inside the Citadel the situation is better but by no means perfect. The flagstones are very uneven and some have been dug up and left elsewhere while pipework is being installed. This is not a visit for the fainthearted or the mobility challenged. Many of the steps are downright dangerous and have no handrails. Notwithstanding all the above, the 360 degree vista from the top is fantastic
Amazing citadel atop very typical Gozitan limestone plateau with views over Rabat (Victoria). Walk the ramparts and visit the museums but be aware before your visit it is downright dangerous ATM because of huge, chaotic restorations funded by the EU. Don't take young kids. Wheelchairs, forget about it.
Impossible to visit at the moment without getting dusty and an ear bashing from the enormous amount of restoration work. Cathedral itself not that interesting. Very quirky cathedral museum. Museum of Folklore and Archeological museum both quite interesting.
Although this area was under renovation it was still well worth the walk up if only to see the amazing views from the top. We stopped off for a really lovely lunch on a rooftop terrace, had a look in a lace shop but the jewellry shop was unfortunately shut.
A very pretty citadel, a pleasant walk, great views of the island. Definitely visit the Citadel jewelry store, I regret I did not buy more
It`s been months since roadworks leading to it-Tokk and access to the Citadel have been left unfinished. The detour through Triq l-Imghallem still does not take you up to the Citadel since the final part has been rendered one way due to the construction works going on and on at the entrance of the Citadel. So fellow travellers, brace up and walk it all the way up. The place is worth a visit with its landmarks, views and history. Hopefully such long ongoing works will end one day!
