This article is about the village in Gozo. For the town on Malta, see
Żebbuġ, Malta.
The small village of Iż-Żebbuġ is on the island of Gozo in Malta.[1] With a population of 1770 (November 2005) located in the northwest of the island, close to the towns of Gharb and Marsalforn, on a hilltop overlooking the coast. The word Żebbuġ means "olives", a crop for which the village used to be noted, although nowadays very few olive trees remain on the slopes of Żebbuġ. The village is also well-known for its fine lacework and for its nearby coastal beauty spots.
People have lived in and around Żebbuġ for many years - there are Bronze Age sites on nearby Kuljat hill, and to the north, close to the bay of Qbajjar are even older remains.
