Żebbuġ, Gozo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the village in Gozo. For the town on Malta, see Ħaż-Żebbuġ.
The small village of Iż-Żebbuġ is on the island of Gozo in Malta. With a population of 1770 (Nov 2005)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 village used to be noted, although nowadays very few olive trees remain on the slopes of Żebbuġ. The village is also well-known for its fine lacework and for its nearby coastal beauty spots. Many wealthy people from mainland Malta now have their residence in the village of Żebbuġ, somewhat increasing its erstwhile miniscule population.
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.
