Today Is Jum Għawdex
Local
Today, Gozo marks Jum Għawdex, a day that commemorates the uprising of the Gozitans against the French occupation in 1798. Led by Archpriest Saver Cassar, the revolt brought an end to the French presence on the island after just 141 days, paving the way for a brief yet remarkable period of self-governance.
More than a historical anniversary, Jum Għawdex serves as a moment of reflection on the island’s regional identity.
