More Information

Qortin, once an uncontrolled landfill in Gozo, has been transformed into a 50,000m² green space. After holding 0.6 million tonnes of waste from 1968 to 2004, the site underwent extensive rehabilitation, including soil placement, planting 23,000 shrubs, and creating a rainwater reservoir for irrigation. Safety features such as railings and gates facilitate public access. Now a serene natural habitat, Qortin is a peaceful retreat where visitors can enjoy views of Ramla l-Ħamra.
