Description

Ġgantija is a fascinating complex of prehistoric megalithic temples in Malta, older even than the Egyptian pyramids! Built more than 5500 years ago, it is one of the oldest free-standing buildings in the world.

The huge blocks of stone that make up the temples are awe-inspiring and make you think about the advancement of ancient civilizations. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a key destination for history and archaeology enthusiasts.

The name 'Ġgantija' comes from the Maltese word meaning 'gigantic' - which perfectly captures the monumental nature of this remarkable site.
