<p>The <b>Azure Window</b> (<a href="Maltese_language" title="Maltese language">Maltese</a>: <span lang="mt" style="font-style: normal;">it-Tieqa Żerqa</span>), also known as the <b>Dwejra Window</b> (<a href="Maltese_language" title="Maltese language">Maltese</a>: <span lang="mt" style="font-style: normal;">it-Tieqa tad-Dwejra</span>), was a 28-metre-tall (92 ft) <a href="Natural_arch" title="Natural arch">natural arch</a> on the island of <a href="Gozo" title="Gozo">Gozo</a>, located just off the shores of <a href="Malta" title="Malta">Malta</a>. The <a href="Limestone" title="Limestone">limestone</a> feature, which was in Dwejra Bay close to the <a href="Inland_Sea%2C_Gozo" title="Inland Sea, Gozo">Inland Sea</a> and <a href="Fungus_Rock" title="Fungus Rock">Fungus Rock</a>, was one of the island's major tourist attractions until it collapsed in stormy weather on 8 March 2017. The arch, together with other natural features in the area, has appeared in a number of international films and media productions.
</p><p>The rock formation, which consisted of a pillar rising from the sea joined to the cliff by a horizontal slab, was created by the collapse of a sea cave, probably during the 19th century. The final collapse in 2017 followed a century of natural <a href="Erosion" title="Erosion">erosion</a>, during which large sections of the limestone arch had broken off and fallen into the sea.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Formation">Formation</h3></div>
<p>The Azure Window developed through sea erosion of a limestone cliff face. The progress starts with an initial notch resulting from wave action. This space devoid of rock then causes <a href="Tensile_stress" class="mw-redirect" title="Tensile stress">tensile stresses</a> that lead to the formation of a vertical <a href="Joint_(geology)" title="Joint (geology)">joint</a> extending upwards from the notch. This joint would progressively become wider, first forming a cave and eventually an arch. The end of the lifecycle of the arch is reached when erosion finally progresses so far that the roof of the arch gets heavier than the pillars can support.<sup id="cite_ref-report_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-report-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is not known exactly when the arch came to being, but the entire process is believed to have taken around 500 years.<sup id="cite_ref-times2013-07-19_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-times2013-07-19-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-europeancommission_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-europeancommission-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The arch is not mentioned in 17th- and 18th-century descriptions of the Dwejra area, which was already famous due to the nearby <a href="Fungus_Rock" title="Fungus Rock">Fungus Rock</a>, so it probably did not exist then. <a href="Giovanni_Francesco_Abela" title="Giovanni Francesco Abela">Giovanni Francesco Abela</a>'s 1647 book <i>Della Descrizione di Malta</i> and <a href="Giovanni_Pietro_Francesco_Agius_de_Soldanis" title="Giovanni Pietro Francesco Agius de Soldanis">De Soldanis</a>' 1746 manuscript <i>Il Gozo Antico-Moderno e Sacro-Profano</i> both mention a <i>Tieqa Żerqa</i> (written archaically as <i>Tieka Szerka</i>)<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or <i>Għar iż-Żerqa</i>, but this referred to the cave entrance to the nearby <a href="Inland_Sea%2C_Gozo" title="Inland Sea, Gozo">Inland Sea</a>.

In March 2016, Gatt warned that the illegal use of explosives at the nearby Inland Sea could have an effect on the already weak structure of the nearby Azure Window. These comments were made in the wake of an investigation by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority which revealed that explosive material was "probably used" to do rock cutting in the tunnel leading to the Inland Sea. It was suspected that the illegal cutting was aimed at widening the entrance to allow larger boats to sail through.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p><p>In December 2016, an emergency order was published prohibiting people from going on the arch, trespassers facing a fine of €1500.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, this law was not enforced, and visitors were still walking on top of the arch days before it collapsed in March 2017.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
