I'm a sucker for tower views wherever I go and since I'm a local (Gozitan) I had to go up this tower of course! It's a measly 2e and worth every cent! You see all of Gozo around you!The church has one of the largest unsupported domes in the world and a curious story surrounds the small chapel inside which the local proud priest will be more than willing to narrate for you.

This is a lovely church in a great location. It has marvelous architectural features both inside and outside the church. The pictures inside were of outstanding quality. As we were on a guided tour I would have liked to have had a bit more time to look around this church.

This is a Church about the Knights of Malta & St. John the Baptist. It is sumptuously decorated and filled with history. I have never seen anywhere to compare.

It is definitely worth getting off the bus on the way to Victoria to view this church. It looks brand new and given that it wasn't finished until 1971, it is no wonder it shines. However, the 'new construction' envelopes a much older (17th century) baroque church, which includes sculptures, altars and tombs. We were welcomed by a very friendly priest who proudly showed us around and willingly answered questions before suggesting we take the lift to the base of the dome. Once up in the dome, the views of Gozo are spectacular and you can climb the staircase to the bell tower for an even better view - but do remember that the bells chime and they are loud! The interior of the new church under the dome is bright and airy with many columns supporting the huge dome. The church provides wraps for people who have arrived in too skimpy attire, to cover up, however my wife and I were in tailored shorts/t shirts and the priest advised that we didn't need to cover up. If you have to wait for a bus, there are a couple of little bars and a mini supermarket opposite the church where you can get refreshments and watch the world go by in peace and quiet! The church closes around 13:00 and reopens around 15:00. There was no charge but there was a donation box. After your visit why not have a cool drink at the small bar to the left (with your back to the church) of the main church entrance

The Rotunda of St. John the Baptist is located in Xewkija and have one of the largest dome in the world. This church must be a stop for everyone who are coming in Gozo, mainly for the great views from the bell tower (is only 2 Euros to go up).

When I visited with my partner we were met by a priest who took the time to welcome us and explain in detail the history of the church. And fantastic views all around.

We were driving back to the ferry from Gozo back to Malta. This church can bad seen for miles, if is huge and swamps the surrounding buildings. Once inside we were suprised at how bright it was, having been inside other Gozitian churches which were very dark. We spotted the chance to go to the roof level below the dome by lift. A very nice priest greeted us and blessed us(afterwards). We had stunning 360 degree views of Gozo.

A large Beautiful church.The best thing about this place is the amazing views you can experience by paying two euros to travel up a lift. Make sure you climb the stairs to the bell tower for even more stunning views. Ensure this isn't on the quarter hour as you may be deafened (even if this occurs atleast you'll be enjoying a spectacular view)
