Area guide
Xewkija
Xewkija is Gozo's industrial-employment village under the great Rotunda dome.
Xewkija is the Gozitan village immediately east of Victoria, dominated by the vast Rotunda of St John the Baptist (one of the largest unsupported domes in Europe). The locality combines a traditional core with the island's main industrial estate at Xewkija Crafts Village, which provides much of Gozo's manufacturing employment.
