A megalithic temple complex on the island of Malta’s southern coast, Hagar Qim is one of the earliest freestanding stone buildings on Earth. Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes six other Maltese megalithic temples, the complex dates back to the 4th millennium BC, and is among the best-preserved of those landmarks.
Maria was a great guide and provided lots of information that gave context to the megaliths. It would have been nice to spend a bit longer at the site and take in the surroundings more
Great to see the history of mining limestone and its important role in Malta's history. It was also nice to imagine how temples were constructed over 5000 years ago.
Excellent guide and well organised......the one exception is that we weren't able to visit the second temple further down the hill at Hagar Qim. These temples were main reason for the tour for me and seems really sad the itinerary does not allow for this.
