The Village

Ghajnsielem is a quiet fishing village only few minutes distance away from the Mgarr Harbour in Gozo, the sister island of Malta. Its name literally translated means "Spring of Peace" which holds a lot of truth in it. This place would be perfect for a relaxing holiday away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy towns. Already as you arrive in Gozo, you would be greeted by the well known landmarks of this town, such as the Lourdes Chapel and Fort Chambray. A visit on top of the hill holding Lourdes Chapel should not be missed, especially for its breath-taking views of the harbour particularly during sunset or sunrise.

A few places of interest in Ghajnsielem would include:

  • Mgarr Harbour
  • Lourdes Chapel
  • Fort Chambray
  • Apparition Square
  • St Anthony's Church
  • Mgarr ix-Xini & Tower
  • Ix-Xatt l-Ahmar

I'll try to take more pictures of these places next time I'll visit.

On another note, if you are interested in visiting and are looking for a place to stay in this village, you should look at http://gozoflat.com for modern comforts right in the heart of this little town.
