The geography of Gozo, is dominated by water as it is the second largest island in the Maltese archipelago[1] and is made up out of limestone. There are several islands which fall under Gozitan jurisdiction and thus are additions to the overarching Maltese archipelago. The main island of Gozo is located 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northwest of the main island of Malta.[2] It is mostly known for its multitude of low-lying hills.[3] The highest point in Gozo is Ta' Dbiegi hill, which falls under the San Lawrenz local council.[4] The island of Comino, which is also the third largest island in Malta, falls under Gozo.[5]
