French: Temples mégalithiques de Malte
The Megalithic Temples of Malta is a World Heritage site in Malta defined by the UNESCO in 1980 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 29 (177, 38) in our monthly survey..

"Seven megalithic temples are found on the islands of Malta and Gozo, each the result of an individual development. The two temples of Ggantija on the island of Gozo are notable for their gigantic Bronze Age structures. On the island of Malta, the temples of Hagar Qin, Mnajdra and Tarxien are unique architectural masterpieces, given the limited resources available to their builders. The Ta'Hagrat and Skorba complexes show how the tradition of temple-building was handed down in Malta."
