A glimpse of Għajnsielem and Mġarr

This historical photograph, taken in the 1910s by Salvatore Lorenzo Cassar, offers a breathtaking view of Għajnsielem overlooking Mġarr. On the left stands the iconic Ta' Lourdes Chapel, built in 1893 and perched on a hill, its Gothic Revival architecture serving as a spiritual beacon for locals and travellers. Below, the Mġarr Harbour terminal reveals its early 20th-century layout, primarily used for small fishing boats and limited passenger transport. This image captures the serene rural and maritime life of Gozo during a time of simpler, yet profound charm.
