Description
Victoria (Rabat) is the historic capital of Gozo and a lively centre of history, culture and everyday Gozitan life. Dominating the city is the impressive Citadella, a centuries-old fortified complex with the Baroque Gozo Cathedral and the historic Old Prison. Around It-Tokk, the central square, lies a vibrant town centre with shops, cafés and local markets. The St George’s Basilica, traditional streets and historic buildings add to Victoria’s distinctive character. The city combines Gozo’s rich cultural heritage with a relaxed, authentic atmosphere and serves as the island’s main urban and cultural centre.
