Over 30,000 candles of all forms will light up the narrow streets of Cittadella, together with candle artefacts, creating a wonderful magical atmosphere within this walled city, offering a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Gozo’s hills and valleys, villages, and churches and a view right across the sea to Malta.
