Fodor's Expert Review St. George's Basilica

The splendid baroque St. George's Basilica has the most beautifully ornate interior on Gozo, hence its nickname as the "Golden Basilica." It also has the only bronze door on the island, and is home to some superb artwork, including two works by the prolific Mattia Preti. The adjoining Heart of Gozo museum (free entry) is also worth exploration and houses a rich collection of historic, religious, and artistic artifacts gifted by various popes and wealthy benefactors over the centuries.
