It-Tempji tal-Ġgantija
The megalithic temples of Gantija have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. Along with the Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples and Skorba Temples in Malta, this remarkable archaeological site dates to around 3600–2500 BC. The Ġgantija temples are thought to be the second oldest free-standing structures in the world, second only to Göbekli Tepe in Turkey and predating Stonehenge in England and the Pyramids of Egypt by about 1000 years! The name “Ġgantija” is derived from the Maltese word for giant (“Ġgant”) because it was believed that the site was constructed by a race of giants. This mythical concept is understandable considering that the temples are made of massive limestone blocks measuring over five metres in length and weighing more than 50 tonnes.The entrance fee to the temples of Ġgantija is not included in the price of your package; if you wish to visit the temples, you will have some free time to do so.
