Walk the stones of the world's oldest free-standing structures — older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids. A private expert archaeologist guide brings the Neolithic builders to life in a way no audio-guide ever could.
What to expect
Two massive temple complexes rise from the Xagħra plateau, their honey-coloured limestone walls still standing after five and a half millennia. Your expert guide decodes the carved altars, libation holes and astronomical alignments that have baffled scholars for generations. The on-site museum houses original figurines and artefacts recovered during excavations. Allow at least 90 minutes to do the site proper justice.
Good to know
Ġgantija is 20 minutes by taxi or private driver from Mgarr port. Book a licensed Heritage Malta guide in advance through the site; entry tickets at the gate. All-aboard times in Mgarr are typically 17:30–18:00 — a morning visit leaves ample time.
