Fontana

fontana village on gozo

The village of Fontana, located close to Xlendi Bay and next to Lunzjata Valley,  took its name from two springs found in this same village. The word Fontana means “spring” and this village is also known by the locals as Triq tal-Għajn, which translates to the way to the spring.

These springs are found at the peripheral of the village, one on each side of the road. They consist of arched shelters which were built over the springs, and people used to do their daily washing there.

The parish church found in Fontana is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
