Sannat Attractions

|
Sannat is Gozo's most southerly village, close to Ta'Cenc Cliffs.
Attractions here include the 145m high layercake cliffs with their breath-taking scenery, and the handmade traditional Gozitan lace.
Sannat was the traditional center of the island's lace-making cottage industry and on rare occasions you still see women sitting on chairs in the shade of the 18th century parish church of Ste Margaret, working on off-white lace tablecloths and other crafts.
The Maltese lace industry was established in the early years of the 17th century. The earliest forms came from Italy and were altered to create the easily distinguishable type known throughout the world as "Maltese Lace."
