Located right between Victoria and G?ajnsielem， Xewkija is the oldest settlement in Malta’s sister island， Gozo. The village’s name is derived from the term “xewk” which denotes “thorns” or “thistles”. On November 27，1678， Xewkija became the first Gozitan village outside of Victoria to become parish. It also became the first “contrada1” area to be referred to as a “casale2” or “hamlet”.
