Gozo is an island of the Maltese archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. The island is part of the Southern European country of Malta; after the island of Malta itself, it is the second-largest island in the archipelago. Gozo was the location for Calypso's island in the 1997 Hallmark miniseries The Odyssey based on Homer's epic poem

The name Xlendi is probably derived from the word "xelandion", a type of Byzantine vessel which may have anchored in the port. Caroline Cave is a cave on the right cliffs of the bay. This cave could only be reached by stairs.

Il-Fontana is a village on Gozo Island originated from the suburb of Victoria on the Rabat-Xlendi road. Most of the fishermen that operated from the fishing village of Xlendi lived in Fontana.
Its local name is "It-Triq tal-G ajn", (the way to the ħspring), and it took its name from a spring at the bottom of the road leading to Xlendi, known locally as "l-G ajn il-ħKbira", (the big spring).
Arched shelters were built in the sixteenth century over the springs for the convenience of people when washing their clothes. A very old irrigation system made up from stone gutters constantly brings water from a spring situated in the Ker em part of the ċvalley.

Weaving, embroidery and lace-making were encouraged, often by the Church. Life in Gozo and much of rural Malta was relatively harsh and craft industries became a main source of income for rural families.
