This captivating photograph, taken in August 1964, features a Franciscan friar walking towards Mgarr Harbour from Ghajnsielem. The photographer stood on the site where the Grand Hotel now stands, previously named The Grand Hotel of Migiarro. On the top left, the iconic Ta' Lourdes Chapel, built in 1893, stands as a striking Gothic Revival landmark. In the background, Fort Chambray dominates the top centre, while on the right, the winding Mgarr Road leads to Ghajnsielem. This serene image captures the timeless charm and historical significance of Gozo during the mid-20th century.
