The town of Rabat, otherwise known as Victoria is the largest town on Gozo. Rabat is the main fortification on the island and until the last few hundred years, all of the island’s residents were required by law to sleep within its confines. This limited the amount of land that could be cultivated on the island as a person can only walk so far in a day. That’s the reason that Gozo is such a quite, small, and laid back place.
