Victoria: Tas-Salvatur Hill
Tas-Salvatur Hill occupies elevated limestone terrain in western Gozo, Malta. Rising above inland communities near Victoria, it is crowned by the statue of Christ the Saviour, a familiar religious landmark on the island. Gozo is Malta’s second-largest island, set in the Mediterranean Sea, and its interior retains a close pattern of small settlements and cultivated terraced fields. Limestone has long shaped local building traditions as well as the stepped agricultural plots around the hill. Victoria, Gozo’s administrative centre, lies nearby; its historic Citadel is the town’s defining fortified landmark. Together, the hill and surrounding farmland convey the rural side of an island more often associated with its coast.
