Places of Interest in Ghajnsielem
A visit to Ghajnsielem should include Mgarr Harbour and
fishing village. Ideally next comes Our Lady of Lourdes
Chapel from where, especially at sunset, a beautiful view of
Mgarr Harbour could be enjoyed. The 18th Century Fort
Chambray, which was once unsuccessfully planned to be Gozo's
Valletta, is also worth noting especially its perimeter. Up
there you can discover views of Gozo's southern cliffs, Xatt
l-Aħmar Bay and those of the Northern Comino Channel. The
narrow winding road leading to peaceful bay of Xatt l-Ahmar
could be traced from there, or else you could endeavour
towards the village centre for a visit to the majestic
Lombard-Gothic sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of Loreto. In
the vicinity there is also the old parish church and the
mysterious "Pjazza tad-Dehra" (square of the apparition)
where it is believed that Our Lady has spoken to a local
shepherd Anglu Grech. The parish owes its origin to the
story of this apparition. A visit to the old Franciscan
convent and church of St. Anthony of Padua is also
worthwhile. Apart from the tranquillity of the area
surrounding the convent, one could not remain anything less
than charmed by the views upon the Gozo Channel particularly
early in the morning or late at sunset.
