Castello Zamitello

Castello Zamittello is a unique castle that lies on the outskirts of the country village of Mgarr, on the way to Gnejna Bay. Built in Norman it was used to guard against sudden raids by corsairs, as indicated by the four unusual turrets adorning the façade. Legend has it that Baroon Bernado Zamitt who lent his name to the building arranged for his daughter, Lucia to be married to a wealthy but elderly Sicilian count, much to her protestations. On the day of her wedding she disappeared. Believing her to have been abducted, the Baron, count and guests dressed their arms and rushed to Gneja Bay to confront her kidnappers. However there was no sign of her. A few days later the count left for Sicily and a deep melancholy fell over the village. A year later, the village bell began to toll with no-one ringing it and Lucia appeared in a strange light. She spoke of how she had ran away and become a nun, caring for the wounded in far-off wars until she was killed by a stray arrow and that she had forgiven her father. In a flash she disappeared and to this day is regarded locally as a saint.
