English words cannot describe my experience in Gozo, including il-Qolla i-Badja. This former battery-converted-to-nightclub-now-abandoned-building is located very close to the historic Salt Pans and the gorgeous grotto, Weid al-Ghesri, among several others. Photo opportunities do not even render justice to this wildly beautiful place. The battery was locked up when I was there (December 2019), but around the grounds and outside were accessible, plus there are signs explaining the historical significance of il-Qolla. The weather was simply fabulous in December. Highly recommend visiting if already...

This is a unique bay one rarely finds anywhere in the world. With clear waters and unique limestone formations makes this a trull beautiful place to spend your afternoon exploring. The tower offers a view on the life of daily Gozitans although it is in serious need of reparation. Perhaps the most unknown part is the Phoenician burial places as the word Qbajjar literally means cemetary. In the vicinities there was once a statue of Tanit, but it is said that it was taken during the production of a film by one of the...

It's a closed and locked ruin. Danger Keep Out. It is possible to enter through a damaged wall aside the main entrance. I imagine that this would make great accommodation for backpackers, if brought back in to use. Whatever business takes over. This fortress could command five star reviews effortlessly, due to the stunning views from the arched windows inside. How about an international dive school with accommodation and public cafe? Easy to convert into a...

Abandoned old fort which in the past has been used as a nightclub. The place is in complete disrepair. It is possible to explore inside and upstairs but the building isn't very safe. You can explore around the building and appreciate the views. It's a shame this hasn't been repaired since the use as a nightclub as it is an impressive building. If your passing and want to explore something different and not touristy then call by.

This old artillery battery is definitely worth a visit during great weather. Although entering the building itself seemed to be off limits, the scenery and views were stunning, especially with the small rock formations or pans that were filled to the brim with water. Whether you choose to stay on the cliffs or go down to the rocks and see the bay, this spot is worth it thanks to it’s close proximity to other great scenic spots.
