A real fortress in the center of the island, as such it is located at a higher altitude than the rest of the city of about 150mt. From here you can see the whole island, even Comino and Malta (exceptional sunrises and sunsets!).
The defensive walls are impressive and are passable for their entire length.
Inside there is one of the most beautiful churches in Malta, some museums and it is still possible to see the ancient foundations in the north.
With the flagstone floor, heels and leather soles are strongly discouraged.

Medieval Citadel in Victoria. GOZO has a very medieval charisma, really great.

At the time of the Roman Empire there was an acropolis on this square. A castle was built there in the Middle Ages. After the archipelago was taken over by the Order of St. John in 1530, the complex was rebuilt and expanded. Between 2007 and 2014, the Maltese government had the citadel extensively restored after extensive investigations. A walk through the narrow streets, the squares that open again and again and along the walls of the citadel is probably the absolute highlight of a stay in the city. From above there are also views over large parts of the island of Gozo.
