Marsalforn – Churches and Chapels

Introduction

Marsalforn began as a sheltered anchorage and coastal settlement, then grew into a fishing village and finally a tourism-driven resort. Its identity still revolves around the harbour—especially the Menqa area—where fishing boats and daily marine routines remain part of the scene.

Location

Marsalforn

Marsalforn’s bay is described as having been used for anchorage since antiquity, benefiting from a naturally sheltered coastal shape. Several summaries also place Marsalforn’s early story within a broader Roman-era context on Gozo.
