Ġgantija Temples: UNESCO Megalithic Wonder with Expert Guide

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.
