Ggantija Temple - Gozo

This is the most visited cultural attraction in Malta, if the brochure is to be believed.

So I really should have made it my business to get along to this Temple before now, but better late than never.  Anyway, it wasn't going anywhere fast.

For many years it was believed that this massive stone edifice was constructed by giants, hence the name.  You can see why when you get up close and personal to it, as it would have taken quite some time and effort to heft and wedge these huge chunks of rock into place.

Bugibba Temple

Yes, believe it or not, there is an ancient temple site in the tourist town of Bugibba.  But where?

Hagar Qim & Mnajdra Temples

Malta is dotted with prehistoric temple sites, and there are two beside each other on the west coast of the island, very near the Blue Grotto.  For a mere nine euros you get to visit both of them plus the attached museum, which provides information about the people who constructed these edifices.
