Day 3! I’m going to Gozo, Malta’s sister Island. (Malta consisst of 3 islands, Mainland Malta, Gozo and Comino) It’s a lot smaller than Malta and everywhere in Gozo could be reached by a bicycle.

In olden times, the inhabitants clustered around the Island’s highest point and built a Citadel to warn the locals of dangerous pirates.

St George’s Basilica was built between 1672 and 1678 and stands at the centre of a patchwork of narrow, winding streets.

They are one of the best examples of prehistoric architecture on the Island and it’s now estimated that they were Built in about 3600 BC, which makes them the Oldest free standing structures in the WORLD, and the world’s oldest religious structures, pre-dating the Pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge.
