Gozo is a very small island, though it has a very high concentration of historical virtues. It has been inhabited for centuries ago (c. 5000 BC). For such a small island, it has a high number of churches. The village of Xewkija has got a massive rotunda church with its dome larger than St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. All in all, Gozo inhabits around 31,000 inhabitants and is a fraction of the whole population of Malta (around 400,000). You can imagine how small the island of Gozo is.
Gozo is also known for one of the eldest man-made structures here on earth backdated to 5500 BC, called the Ggantija Temples. The structure is still standing and is located in the village of Xaghra. Also in the same village, there lie the popular sites of Ninu’s Cave, Xerri’s Grotto and Calypso cave all of which have an interesting history behind them.
