It takes about 30 minutes by boat from the main island of Malta to the island of Gozo. The Mediterranean scenery seen from the boat is so beautiful. The sheer cliff scenery is also harmonized with the blue Mediterranean sea, showing off a powerful aura. The island of Gozo, like the main island of Malta, has a long history. The ancient Roman Empire, which dominated the Mediterranean, also once ruled the island. So, in the island, there is an aqueduct, which is a representative Roman ruin as a bridge made to draw water. The Temple of Jugantia, a World Heritage Site on the island of Gozo, means “giant” in Maltese and is the oldest structure on earth, presumably built before the first pyramid in Egypt. It is a prehistoric megalithic temple built between 3600 and 3000 BC. The huge rocks weigh several tons and the rocks built on the outer wall are 6 meters tall. Several rooms and passages were created by stacking stone pillars vertically and horizontally, but the question of how in the distant past to build a huge temple by stacking dozens of tons of rocks is still an unsolved riddle. If the main island of Malta, where the capital city of Valletta is located, is urban, the island of Gozo has a much more wild beauty. The coastal scenery of Gozo Island, where white waves crash, exudes a timeless charm that transcends time and is dynamic.
