Żebbuġ, Gozo

Encyclopedia : E : EB : EBB : Żebbuġ, Gozo

This article is about the village in Gozo. For the island on Malta, see Ħaż-Żebbuġ.

The small town of Iż-Żebbuġ is on the island of Gozo in Malta. With a population of 1600, it is located in the northwest of the island, close to the towns of Gharb and Marsalforn, on a hilltop overlooking the coast. The word Żebbuġ means "olives", a crop for which the town used to be noted, although nowadays very few olive trees remain on the slopes of Żebbuġ. The town is also well-known for its fine lacework and for its nearby coastal beauty spots.

People have lived in and around Żebbuġ for many years - there are bronze age sites on nearby Kuljat hill, and to the north, close to the bay of Qbajjar are even older remains.
