The monumental church of Nadur

Abstract

Nadur is one of the larger villages of Gozo. Yet up to mid-nineteenth century, its territory was more than double its present extent. It still included the bordering villages of Qala and Għajnsielem with Mġarr Harbour. Even Comino, lying in the narrow channel that separates Malta from Gozo, was considered to be in the territory of Nadur. Today, the main attraction of Nadur is undoubtedly its magnificent Basilica dedicated to the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul. This wonderful monumental temple evokes to memory centuries of old historical facts.
