  • 7. Dwejra Bay Island Of Gozo
    The Azure Window , also known as the Dwejra Window , was a 28-metre-tall natural arch on the island of Gozo in Malta. The limestone feature, which was in Dwejra Bay close to the Inland Sea and Fungus Rock, was one of the island's major tourist attractions until it collapsed in stormy weather on 8 March 2017. The arch, together with other natural features in the area, has appeared in a number of international films and media productions. The arch, which consisted of a rock pillar rising joined to the cliff by a horizontal slab, was created by the collapse of a sea cave, probably during the 19th century. The final collapse followed a century of successive erosion, in which large sections of the limestone arch had broken off and fallen into the sea.

The sea of this bay is a crystal blue, like the sea of Blue Lagoon.

The residents themselves claim that they take very good care of the environment, but there has been some contention on this issue.
