ggantija megalithic temples印象
-
Amazing to see those blocks of stone and just to look at and imagine how difficult it was to carry it and match. Really fascinating! Even it was raining I really liked to see it.

We thought we must pay a visit just because the Temples predate almost everything. The exhibition centre was impressive and informative but for our visit a fair proportion of the Temples were enveloped in scaffolding which distracted from the overall impression for us. Clearly for such an aged site maintenance work must be done to preserve the edifice but does it have to be done in such a clumsy way?We're pleased we visited though.

Thank you for submitting your review. As you rightly pointed out, the significance of the Ġgantija Temple complex lies in its antiquity, as its date of construction goes back over 5,000 years ago. Although the roofing of the temples has been lost over time, Ġgantija and all the prehistoric temples of Malta are very much considered as buildings. The megalithic walls that are made up of gargantuan slabs of local stone are the most striking feature in this monument which is a true testimony to the extraordinary building skills of our Neolithic ancestors. Site interpretation is not only limited to information signs but include a number of audio-visuals that feature commentaries by experts, reconstructions and demonstrations that help in the understanding of the site’s importance. We are however continuously striving to improve the visitors’ experience of the site and the inclusion of more interactive facilities in the future will definitely help to bring the site to life. Thank you.

We would have liked longer to study the history section of this attraction but were limited as we were on an organised tour of Gozo. Our tour guide spent a lot of time explaining everything to us once we had walked along the well maintained paths to see the Temples. As with Stonehenge, it is amazing to imagine how all these enormous blocks of rock could have been put in place so long ago when there was none of the machinery that existed in later centuries. An interesting and thought provoking place.

We visited when the Centre was largely closed but the temples, now covered for preservation were impressive and unmissible

It's quite amazing to see temples that even older than the Pyramids.If you're interested in historical sights this is well worth a visit.There's a museum where you can read about the discovery andthe excavations & then you go through & see the ancient templesthemselves. I was on a hop on/hop off tour & this was a site I justhad to get off and explore.I'm glad I did!

As with the Neolithic sites on Malta, these are just fascinating. The museum was informative and the temple remains extraordinary. Well worth a visit.
-
These are well worth a trip out to Xaghra, good museum entrance with lots of information then the outside temples are easily accessible on boardwalks. The size of these Neolithic temples are awesome, older than the pyramids.
-
These structures need to be seen to be believed built years before the pyramids an amazing feet of Neolithic building

We took the local bus service which stops close by. Was supprised how expensive the venue was compared to all other attractions on the island. Yes expensive but worth a visit.
