Description
Victoria is the official name of the only city of the island of Gozo. On 10 June 1887, on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the accession to the throne of Queen Victoria of the British Empire, the town of Gozo was renamed Victoria and raised to the status of a city. The city of Victoria embraces both Iċ-Ċittadella, the ancient city-fortress of Gozo, as well as ir-Rabat, which developed as a town since very early times.
Victoria – a portrait of a City, with its 256 pages, more than 40,000 words, 300 references, and 500 photographs, vividly describes the story of the town and its people from the first human settlement in the Neolithic Period till the present times.
