You can get to this place on the 303 bus from Mgarr and walk up to it. It is a beautiful building which includes the 3rd. largest unsupported dome in the world. There is a lift up to the roof (3 euros) but it is well worth it and you can climb up to the bell tower. From the roof you can see all of Gozo. Well worth a visit.

It is always wonderful to return to Xaghra and we were back here after a year. Sitting in the square at one of the many cafes and restaurants one can soak in the atmosphere of this great church, whose facade dominates the bustling square. The grand pillars are statues of the exterior draw one to look inside and there the magnificence continues with paintings, marble and stained glass. The major attraction of the interior aside from the wonderful altar is the statue of the young Virgin Mary that is brought into the streets at the time of the Xaghra Festa in September each year. This is a church most definitely worth visiting.
