Ggantija Temples on Gozo

by Diana75 - last update: Oct 14, 2006

The oldest free-standing structures in the world

Among the best-preserved temples on the Maltese Islands, the Ggantija Temples, on Gozo, are thought to be the oldest free-standing structures in the world.

More than 6000 years old, the Ggantija Temples are also the world's oldest religious structures, pre-dating the Pyramids of Egypt, although they are probably neither more famous nor more impressive than the Pyramids.

As the temples are one of the most important archaeological sites in Malta, a visit to Ggantija in Xaghra, Gozo it is definitely a must.

 Fascinating, indeed with the temples, caves, & "holes". What an exciting adventure. Love your photographs, and I agree with Lori about the post-card style opening photo. Great work.

 Fantastic page on unique (not in Malta though :-) and mysterious place I liked a lot. I didn't know the legend on a giant called Sansuna who carried the stones to build the temples.

 First of all I must mention how much I admire the way you always do your main pic - as a postcard. I like that. I t truly is amazing how the temples survived and the walls are still standing.

 No, you're completely right, I misread! Regards the vandalism note it referred to the real Mnajdra, not Ggantija! Apologies :)
