Ras il-Wardija

Ras il-Wardija is a historica place in the limits of Santa Lucija, on the extreme South West point of  Gozo. In this area one can find various Punico-Hellenistic remains including a sanctuary. The sanctuary can be divided into two areas: The upper part, consisting of a rock cut chamber and a cistern, and a lower terrace the remains have been less well preserved, although a few blocks of stone can still be traced.

During Phoenician times this area flourished as a place of cult dedicated to an as yet unknown deity. The place was also utilized for a similar purpose during the Roman period, after which the sanctuary fell in decay only to be used as a troglodytic dwelling in the medieval period.
