Cathedral of the Assumption — Attraction in Victoria

beautiful place, a pity that there are people from the staff who do not know how to generate any education. I went in without a shirt like other tourists, and a certain person from the staff approached me and his exact words were: what the hell are you doing without a shirt. First of all, let me tell you one thing that your mother forgot to teach you, education and respect. If you have to draw someone's attention, the first thing is with education and the second thing you could say is hello, do not rebuke people as a disrespectful person, also for refusing to give your name because you will probably be ashamed of the animal attitude you showed. Beautiful place but if all the tourists run into this man, of course we will not return. As a personal opinion if you are tired of seeing people without shirts entering, worry about doing your job and talking to your boss and putting a sign on the door prohibiting entering without a shirt, surely the person who rebuked me would be the typical school boy who everyone bullied and tried to get his police career oero would fail and now he's a security guy frustrated...

I got shouted at by staff member in front of other tourists for taking a picture of a random corridor (attached) in a publicly accessible area. Then she started demanding I delete the picture in front of her. I just walked out and left her still shouting at me from behind. I left soon after because it had ruined the mood and I had already seen want I wanted to see. Thank god, I didn’t pay to enter only to be shouted at like that. Are staff members trained to shout at non-paying tourists for taking photographs inside the reception areas? What would Jesus think of that?? Ridiculous!

I see an earlier review from 8 years ago of someone experiencing a similar scenario. Staff members should be trained better that they can only ask people not to take photos and not shout and demand the photo...

The Cathedral of the Assumption is absolutely stunning and a highlight of any visit to Gozo. The architecture is breathtaking, with elegant details and a serene atmosphere that makes you pause and take it all in. The beautifully painted ceiling and intricate interior design are works of art in themselves.

Located within the historic Ċittadella, the cathedral offers both spiritual and cultural significance, making it a must-see for history and architecture enthusiasts. The entrance fee is only €5, and it even includes access to the museum, which provides fascinating insights into the cathedral’s history and artifacts.
