Qala first referred to in a fifteenth century portolan
preserved at the Vatican library has taken its name
from the Qala or port of Hondoq ir-Rummien. It is the
easternmost village of Gozo and has been inhabited since
early times. The development of the present settlement
began in the second half of the seventeenth century.
It is a pleasant and rural place with many natural and
historic attractions.
Though Qala is the farthest village from Gozo's capital,
Victoria, it is the closest to the rest of the Maltese
archipelago, and the rocky hillsides of Qala enjoy an
unobstructed view of the islands of Malta and Comino.
