Highlights:
The Blue Window Ruins are a particularly well-known attraction on the island of Gozo. The "Blue Window" is a marvelous natural stone dome, formed by the scouring of limestone by violent ocean waves for thousands of years. On both sides are stone piers with a diameter of about 100 meters, supporting a stone cover, forming a "window" about 100 meters high and 20 meters wide, from which you can see the blue waves of the Mediterranean Sea. However, it is a pity that on March 8, 2017, the natural stone dome collapsed due to the scouring of huge waves caused by strong winds for several days, and now only the "window frame" that originally connected to the coast is left.
