Citadel

The present configuration of the Cittadella is a combination of a medieval castle and an early modern gunpowder fortress, with its northern walls retaining a largely medieval form and its southern walls dating back to a 17th-century reconstruction.

Have a walk on top of the fortress and notice that you can see most of the island also notice that as you go around the edge of the fortress you can see all the churches of the island facing you.

Quite an interesting bit of architecture .. makes you feel tiny in comparison to its huge walls. Gives you a great lookout point but don't lean on those rails..they look unstable. Great place to visit

Dani La Blum

Even there is an construction area you have got a wonderful view all over Gozo and a view little museum .

The citadel itself is free and the views across the island are fantastic. The small museums inside are rather dated and uninteresting - only visit if you have free entry with a Discover Gozo ticket

for the amazing photo shoot don’t miss the sunset .

Brett DeWoody

The citadel and views are amazing. But the museums were a bit disappointing so if you're on the fence, skip 'em.

Alex Dobyan

A beautiful fort with a great lookout - though it seemed there was a fair bit of construction going on.

Colin Wood

Fantastic views , interesting history

Geoffrey Farrugia

Beautiful! In this church you feel its pure beauty and it's not too rich like for example St. John's Cathedral in Valletta. I highly recommend to visit it, once you are in Gozo/Malta. - Veronica V
