  • Doorway inside the Citadel of Victoria Gozo Malta. The Cittadella also known as the Castello is the citadel of Victoria on the island of Gozo, Malta. The area has been inhabited since the Bronze Age, and the site now occupied by the Cittadella is believed to have been the acropolis of the Punic-Roman city of Gaulos or Glauconis Civitas. During the medieval period, the acropolis was converted into a castle which served as a refuge for Gozo`s population. A suburb began to develop outside its walls by the 15th century, and this area now forms the historic core of Victoria. The castle`s defences were obsolete by the 16th century, and in 1551 an Ottoman force invaded Gozo and sacked the Cittadella.
