It’s Been 6 Years Since The Legendary Azure Window In Dwejra Collapsed
Today marks six years since that fateful day in 2017 that saw the end and the collapse of the legendary Azure Window in Dwejra, Gozo.
Strong winds and rain had taken over the Maltese islands, leading to the tragic collapse of the Gozitan landmark, leaving nothing remaining from the unique rock formation.
Although it had been feared that it would soon collapse, the ordeal still shocked everyone around Malta and Gozo, with some saying that it happened sooner than expected.
The geological rock formation was famous in many international movies, such as Clash of the Titans, Game of Thrones, and the Count of Monte Cristo.
The Azure Window was formulated from two key Maltese rocks, the Globigerina Limestone and the Lower Coralline Limestone.
This is how the Azure Window stood before it collapsed:
