This is a spectacular limestone archway at Dwejra Point. The long ledge of rock forming the upper arch of the "window" is in danger of collapsing - not that this deters geologists and others from walking across it to scan the rocky ledges for fossilised sea creatures or to get a good photograph. Erosion by the sea over thousands of years has formed this monumental arch along with numerous caves along the coast. See also Inland Sea. Text by Tony Oldham (2002). With kind permission. |
