Xwejni salt pans, Battery and Qolla s-Safra

An aerial photograph taken in 1990 showcasing the iconic Xwejni salt pans, a historic feature of Gozo's coastline. These geometric saltpans, carved into the limestone, reflect centuries of traditional salt production. Adjacent to the saltpans is the derelict Xwejni Battery, a small coastal fortification built by the Knights of St. John during the 18th century.
