Tas-Salvatur Hill

Tas-Salvatur (Saviour) Hill is a prominent hill above the village of Marsalforn in northern Gozo, topped by a white statue of Christ the Redeemer that is visible from much of the surrounding coast. The statue was erected in the early 20th century and has become a landmark of the Marsalforn area.

A path leads up the hill from the edge of Marsalforn, offering increasingly panoramic views over the bay, the salt pans, the surrounding countryside and, on a clear day, across the channel to Malta. The walk is short but steep, and the summit is a popular spot for sunset views. There are no facilities at the top — bring water for the climb.
