Dwejra

Dwejra is a bay located on the west coast of the island of Gozo, Malta. It is a prominent natural attraction renowned for its dramatic geological formations and clear waters. The area's most famous feature was the Azure Window, a natural limestone arch that collapsed into the sea in 2017. Despite the loss of the arch, Dwejra remains a popular destination for tourists and divers.

The site also includes the Inland Sea, a lagoon connected to the open sea through a narrow tunnel in the cliffs. Small boats can take visitors through this tunnel, offering a unique perspective of the coastal geology. Adjacent to the Inland Sea is Fungus Rock, a small islet also known as the 'Maltese Rock'. Historically, a rare plant, believed to have medicinal properties, grew on Fungus Rock, and it was guarded by the Knights of Malta.

Dwejra's rugged coastline and submerged geological features make it a prime location for scuba diving. Divers can explore underwater caves, swim-throughs, and the remnants of the Azure Window, which now form an artificial reef. The area is also a popular spot for snorkeling and boat trips. The natural beauty and historical significance of Dwejra have made it a protected heritage site.
