Island of Gozo, Malta

November 18, 2018

Gozo is an island across an 8 km channel from the north end of Malta. It is very scenic with a more relaxed feeling. Only spent one day, but could easily spent several more. So much to see, to little time.

Basilica of Ta'Pinu.

There are four of these large mosaic panels in the front plaza of the church.

Basilica of Ta'Pinu is a pilgrimage church devoted to the Virgin Mary.

View from the pilgrimage trail across from the church.

One of the 14 marble statues representing the Way of the Cross on the pilgrimage walk to the top of the hill of Ta'Ghammar.

At the top of the hill of Ta'Ghammar is a large stone amphitheater.
