Gozo's walled Ċittadella was lit by thousands of flickering lights on Saturday in the first edition of the Lejl Imkebbes festival hosted by the Gozo Ministry.

The event was declared a success by the ministry, which estimated that some 10,000 people turned up. 

Fjakkoli and some 30,000 candles lit up the bastions and formed designs in the narrow streets and squares of the ancient town.

The event included historic re-enactments,  live entertainment and children’s activities. Museums opened till late at reduced prices.
