Explora Gozo y encontrarás lugares increíbles como éste, de camino también te llevarás una enorme sorpresa si por casualidad ves una pastelería a pocos metros de la torre y ya la experiencia es máxima! Decir que es una torre de comunicaciones actualmente y que por eso tiene una antena, que hay una persona encargada y que puedes subir por su estrecha escalera de caracol y disfrutar sus vistas aunque no hace falta ni subir para eso. dispones de unos bancos muy agradables en el parque para sentarte..disfrutar el café y el dulce previo comprado de sorpresa en la pastelería y simplemente en el silencio...envolverte en las vistas de Gozo y resto de islas. El nombre "Kenuna" proviene de una palabra semántica que significa "un lugar donde se encienden fuegos". Esta colina se encuentra a 130 metros sobre el nivel del mar y es bien visible desde Malta y Comino. Durante la ocupación de las islas maltesas por la Orden de San Juan, y probablemente incluso antes, se encendían hogueras para servir de aviso cada vez que se avistaba una flota enemiga en el horizonte.

Wonderful place with amazing views of the island. The walk there was delightful, gardens well-kept and plants are nemed and marked. The tower, used during WWII, is now holding telecommunications equipment. It wasn't open when we were there. Really nice benches along the way for sitting, peaceful feel with great sunrises and sunsets.

The tower was used during WWII, but today holds telecommunications equipment. It is surrounded by a botanical garden that is filled with native plants, each with a nametag. The views from the gardens are spectacular. Come to Nadur, Gozo to enjoy this secret garden and photographers Nirvana.

Really nice small botanical garden situated on the site where enemies could be sighted and signal fire's lit in olden times. Great views of Gozo from it's elevated position. Unfortunately we did not get to see the garden in full bloom due to the time of year we visited

We stopped here briefly on a tour to take some photos as the view was amazing! Worth a visit if you want to see the Blue Lagoon from afar which looks incredible by the way!

Great place to get sweeping views of the island. This tower was originally built in 1848 and was later used as a telegraph station along with two other towers.
