dc.description.abstract | It is on the little charming island of Gozo which earned its famous nickname, the Island of the Three Hills, where the old medieval town of the Gozo Citadel rose. Strategically positioned on a flat-topped hill, bang in the centre of the island, this architectural treasure together with the underlying suburb of Rabat provided the main settlement for the inhabitants of Goza in medieval times. Having a similar resemblance to Mdina in Malta, the Citadel's bastions enclose some very remarkable historical buildings and command a magnificent view of the island. Representing one of the oldest fortresses on the Maltese islands, the fortified city offers a hive of cultural importance, taking you back on a journey to another era. Its evolution throughout the passage of time, with all its modifications and interventions has resulted in its current appearance. A deep attachment to this national heritage sparked off an interest in understanding its various architectural elements and overall significance. Although, at first sight, it is the bastioned walls that appear most dominantly and in all their grandeur, these only portray a part of the Citadel's formation. | en_GB |
