Malta Prehistoric Temples
001

 

 

We drive to the southern part of the island and start with a visit to the three Megalithic Temples of Tarxien, which date back to 3000 BC. The temples are Malta’s most important antiquities and are considered to be unique in the world. We then visit Ghar Dalam, ‘The Cave of Darkness’ and its fossilized remains of prehistoric animals of the glacial period. Finally we visit the Prehistoric Temple of Hagar Qim which was built between 3500 and 3000 BC. This temple which is constructed solely of globigerina limestone is standing high overlooking the islet of Filfla.
