Cathedral of the Assumption, Gozo

The Cathedral of the Assumption is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the Cittadella of Victoria in Gozo, Malta. The cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, and it has been the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gozo since the formation of the diocese in 1864.
==History==
The Cittadella originally contained a Roman temple dedicated to Juno, and the remains of this temple existed until the present cathedral was being built. Following the Christianization of Malta and Gozo, the temple was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Later on, Byzantine church was probably built on the site of the temple, until it was destroyed while Malta was under Arab rule.
Following the expulsion of the Arabs, another church was built. The earliest reference of a parish church within the Cittadella dates back to 1299, and it was enlarged over the course of the 15th and 16th centuries. The church was sacked by the Ottomans during the invasion of 1551, but was reopened by September 1554. It was damaged once again in the earthquake of 1693, and the decision was taken to demolish the old building and construct a new church instead.〔
The foundation stone of the present church was laid down on 21 September 1697, and the building was designed by the Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafà.〔 It was inaugurated on 14 August 1711, and was dedicated on 11 October 1716.〔
The church was elevated to a cathedral when it became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gozo, which was formed in 1864.〔
The building is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.
