Gozo, known locally as Għawdex and in antiquity as Gaulos (Greek: Γαύλος, Gaúlos) is an island of the Maltese archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. The island is part of Malta. After the island of Malta itself, it is the second-largest island in the archipelago. Compared to its southeastern neighbour, Gozo is more rural and known for its scenic hills, which are featured on its coat of arms.
