Victoria
Victoria is Gozo's capital under the Cittadella, the island's year-round centre.
Victoria (also called Rabat) is Gozo's capital and effective centre of gravity, sitting in the middle of the island and crowned by the Cittadella, a fortified hilltop citadel. It is the commercial, administrative, and cultural hub of Gozo and the strongest year-round rental market on the island.

- Year-round rental demand from teachers, nurses, and government workers; long-let returns are reliable.
