This photograph captures a traditional Maltese karozzin making its way along the narrow road connecting Fontana to Xlendi in the 1950s. At the time, the road was much narrower compared to the modern, widened version that accommodates increased traffic. The surrounding landscape showcases the untouched beauty of the upper part of Xlendi, where terraced fields dominated the scenery, reflecting the village's agricultural heritage. This image serves as a nostalgic glimpse into the simplicity of rural Gozo, where horse-drawn carriages were a common means of transport, long before the advent of modern infrastructure.
