The collapse of the Azure Window, Island of Gozo, Malta.

in travel •  7 years ago 

On 28th March 2014 I took some close ups of the crack. On the 8th of March 2017 the Azure Window finally collapsed. A crack had formed at the top of the window which became it's Achilles heel. In spite of warning signs tourists still walked on top of the window as you can see in the photograph.

Here is an article showing the before and after photos: https://www.thejournal.ie/malta-gozo-azure-window-collapse-3278474-Mar2017/

It is a bit scary to be up there, but the place is really beautiful. Nice photos. Thx for shating.

I have a serious fear of heights otherwise I would have been up there too. 😊
