dc.description.abstract	I ended Part One of this short narrative on the history of our village with the happy event of Ta' Sannat becoming a separate parish in 1688. A few years after this, however, on 11th January 1693 at about 2pm, a terrible earthquake hit Sicily with its epicentre in Noto, a mere 100km away from Gozo. This earthquake was so powerful, that according to contemporary sources, the sea at Xlendi receded by about a kilometre and then returned with violent force - a tsunami. At the same time a large chunk of land at Ta' Ċenċ fell into the sea. The cathedral church in Rabat (Victoria) was badly damaged and had to be levelled and rebuilt; luckily no one was killed.	en_GB
