| About Zebbug: |
Zebbug lies stretched on a tranquil hill to the north
of Gozo. Its name in Maltese means olives or olive trees,
denoting an olive tree culture in the area at some point
in time. Zebbug actually rises on two adjoining hills,
from where one could not help but observe a splendid
panorama of the Gozitan countryside and the Mediterranean.
On a slope facing Gurdan Lighthouse, known as is-Saghtrija,
there was a considerable deposit of onyx. The owner
of the field discovered it in 1738. Many churches in
Malta and Gozo have works of art sculpted out of this
onyx. The village church, dedicated to Santa Marija,
the Assumption, is literally covered with this semi-precious
stone. The high altar, the choir, and the baptistery
are all sculpted out of this onyx. |
