Gozo 360° is a 30-minute audiovisual show that gives a good, basic introduction to the island's history and sights before veering off into tourist board–style fluff. Shows are every 30 minutes, and commentary is available in 15 languages. The show is held at the Citadel Cinema, which also screens a concise and up-to-date program of blockbuster and arthouse films.
