Bays, watchtowers and the dome that the bomb did not destroy.
3 museosThe north of Malta has the island's best beaches, the knights' coastal towers and Mosta, whose giant dome survived a bomb in 1942.
In Mosta, the Rotunda's dome is one of the largest in Europe; in April 1942 a German bomb pierced it during a service, fell among the people and did not explode – a replica is shown in the sacristy. Further north, Mellieħa looks over Għadira Bay, and the Red Tower of St Agatha, built by the knights, still watches the sea towards Gozo. In St Paul's Bay, tradition says the apostle's ship ran aground on the small islands offshore. The north is where Maltese go for fenkati, long rabbit dinners, and for summer swimming. From Ċirkewwa the ferries leave for Gozo and Comino's Blue Lagoon.
