Ras il-Wardija is a promontory in the limits of San Lawrenz, on the southwest coast of Gozo, Malta.
Around the 3rd century BC,[2] during the Punic period, a religious complex (probably a nymphaeum) was established in the area.
Since the site is clearly visible from the sea, it might have also served as a beacon for ships travelling between the Maltese Islands and North Africa.
It has been suggested that the figure represents the Punic goddess Tanit, but it might also be a medieval representation of a Christian cross.
[3] The land on which the sanctuary is located is privately owned by George Spiteri, and permission may be required in order to access the site.
