Megalithic Temples
Hagar Qim Temple, Mnajdra Temple, Tarxien Temple & Ghar Dalam
Explore
some of the oldest free standing megalithic temples in the world! An
opportunity to discover unique UNESCO World Heritage temple sites
dating back thousands of years....
Join our guide for an exciting insight into an era dominated by
neolithic man.
We start our tour with a visit
to the Tarxien Temples. Tarxien was the first temple site to be
excavated and it offers a unique collection of sanctuaries. Stone
idols and tablets, domestic animals carved in relief, altars and
screens decorated with spiral designs and other patterns, oracular
chambers and riches enhance the attractions of these temples.
We proceed to the south of the island and located in a rural area
are the temple sites of Hagar Qim & Mnajdra. These ancient
temples are particularly interesting. Hagar Qim has the largest
and heaviest megaliths out of all the temple sites around the
Maltese Islands, some slabs weighing a staggering 20 tons and the
Mnajdra Temple
lies tucked in a hollow
in the cliffs, overlooking the tiny isle of Fifla. The site is
probably the most atmospheric of all Maltas temples and during the
Equinox, on the 20th March and the 22nd September, the rays of the
sun pass directly through the temples main doorway and light up the
main axis.
We proceed to the Ghar Dalam. The Ghar Dalam Cave is a highly
important site as it was here that the earliest evidence of human
settlement on Malta, some 7,400 years ago, was discovered. This huge
cavern is some 144 metres deep, but only the first 50 metres are
open to visitors. The lowermost layers, more than 500,000 years old,
contained the fossil bones of dwarf elephants, hippopotami,
micro-mammals and birds. At the stage our tour ends and we return
back to your hotel or you can extend, see below.
