Qolla is-Safra - Gozo

Published:

Description

Photo: Jeffrey Sciberras
English name: Yellow Hillock of Gozo
Qolla is-Safra is probably 2 to 3 times larger than Qolla il-Bajda, and it is made of different geologic composition. It is almost made up entirely of Globigerina Limestone, unlike Qolla il-Bajda, which is entirely made of Clay. Qolla is-Safra is further inland, and much closer to Marsalforn, though still in the limits of Qbajjar. Also uniquely exclusive to Gozo. 'Safra' mean 'yellow' in the feminine gender. 'Bajda' is white also to the same gender. 'Qolla' must be the Gozitan meaning of a small round hill, or hillock.
