What Secrets Does Gozo’s Ancient Fortress Hide?
Walking the ancient ramparts of the Gozo Citadel is like stepping back through centuries of defiance and survival. For generations, this fortress stood as the islandโs shield against invasion โ a watchful guardian over the surrounding countryside and a refuge for the people of Gozo in times of peril.
From here, one can almost feel the weight of history, the echoes of Ottoman raids, and the resilience of an island that has endured wave after wave of conquest. The Citadel is more than stone walls โ it is the soul of Gozo.
This video is part of my ongoing exploration of Malta and its lesser-told stories. Watch my full deep dive into the Gozo Citadel here: ๐ https://youtu.be/W3MElOCfQqw?si=O4iYs99yxhOp7wyV&utm_source=MTQxZ

Great Video.
Go watch it๐ฎ
Imagine if the English today had the spine to do the same.
Many eastern European countries had to do the same. 600 years of slavery under the Ottomans.
