Il-Mixta submitted by enkidu41 : Looking out from the northern half of the cave. The two entrances can be seen as can the natural dividing pillar and the man-made wall. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cave or Rock Shelter in Gozo. Discovery of Bronze Age pottery confirms the antiquity of these west-facing cave dwellings found on the lip of Ghajn Ghabdun (or Ghajn Abdul - "Abdul's Spring") which were occupied as recently as 1951. Due to quarrying in the immediate area there is now only one huge overhang shelter hewn from the hillside and separated into two caves by a natural pillar and a man-made wall.

The main entrance is to the left in the centre of the picture; the smaller entrance to the southern half of the cave is on the right of the former but is largely obscured by the rectangular boulder lying in front at an angle down the slope.
