Locality Nadur Gozo, near San Blas Bay and 10 minute drive from
Ramla Bay.
The word "Nadur" which in Maltese means "look out",
is derived from the Arabic word nadara. The town's motto means
much the same. There are no documents or archeological evidence which could shed
light on the colonization of Nadur by its first inhabitants. Nevertheless,
the plateau and its surroundings, with a few farmhouses scattered here
and there, were in existence for many years well before the area became
a parish in 1688. The only trace of archeological evidence were a number
of large flat stones found in a field between San Blas Bay and Dahlet
Qorrot. According to the Gozitan historian G. P. F. Agius de Soldanis
these roofed structures, which are not in existence anymore, once used
to serve as a sort of temple to the gods. He also imagined that these
slabs of stone couldn't have been placed there by normal people but
by very strong people or giants. He also wrote that Nadur may have
been founded during the time of the Greeks. One proof of this connection
is a bronze statue of Apollo said to be found in Nadur in 1744.
Throughout history Nadur played a very important role in the defense
of the island from corsairs, hence the name. During the reign of the
Knights of St. John, a watch tower was built by Grand Master Nicholas
Cotoner which has been referred to by Dahlet Qorrot Tower or San Blas
Tower for the two bays lying on either side of it. The tower is locally
known as Ta' Sopu Tower.
Another watchtower found in Nadur is Ta' Kenuna Tower built by the
British towards the middle of the 19th century. It served as a telegraph
link between Malta and Gozo. From the top of this semaphore tower,
one can see most of the island, Comino and the northern part of Malta.
