Gozo is a little island in southern Europe, part of the compact Mediterranean nation of Malta.
It may be small, but punches way above its weight when it comes to churches.
These faithful islanders are served by some impressive places of worship which are large, opulent and a dominant part of the Gozitan landscape.
I visited a fair few by bicycle, craning my neck up at some incredible domes and beautiful architecture. The people of Gozo have every reason to be proud.

Hot as hades this week – all days over 35 C. Bit of a contrast to Britain I believe :)

46 churches on 37,000 people?!? There are fewer churches in this town of 150,000 people…
