Comino is an island of the Maltese archipelago between the islands of Malta and Gozo in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a bird sanctuary and nature reserve, noted for its tranquility and isolation. It is also known for the Blue Lagoon, a beautiful bay with crystal clear blue waters brimming with marine life.
There are several places of interest on the island. The most prominent is certainly Santa Marija Tower - a landmark for miles around. On the extreme southern eastern end of the island, there is also Santa Marija Battery, erected in 1715. The Chapel of Comino, situated in Comino Bay was built in 1618. Regular masses are still held for the island's residents and visitors.
