Malta's most massive Stone Age temples, built 4,800 years ago and aligned with equinoxes, offer stunning clifftop views. The scenic moorland path connects both sites, showcasing ancient limestone architecture rivaling Egypt's era.
“Built at the same time as the Mesopotamian and Egyptian city-states, the Hagar Quim Temple was constructed using Maltese limestone.”
