A tiny village in the Northwest of Gozo, San Lawrenz has an area of just a little over three kilometres squared and a population of a mere 750.
Surrounded by three hills (one of which is the highest point in Gozo), San Lawrenz recently lost its most popular site, the Azure Window. These 21 Instagram shots, however, prove that there is so much more to this tiny Gozitan village, and why now is the perfect time to get to know more about San Lawrenz.
