Giordan Lighthouse, also known as Ta' Gurdan Lighthouse, stands on Gordan Hill above the village of Ghasri in the north of Gozo, on one of the highest points of the island. Commissioned during British rule, it was first lit in 1853 to guide ships approaching the Maltese islands from the north and west.
Its elevated position gives sweeping views over the Gozitan countryside and coastline, and on clear days the panorama reaches across the channel toward Comino and Malta. The lighthouse is still an active navigational aid.
The surrounding hill is a popular spot for walkers. The lighthouse itself is not generally open to the public, but the climb up to it is rewarded with some of the best views in Gozo.
