Ġgantija
Ġgantija is a Neolithic megalithic temple complex on the island of Gozo, Malta, made from large pale limestone blocks and comprising two adjacent temples and an unfinished third. Dated to c. 3600–2500 BC, the larger southern temple rises to about 6 m and the plan uses a clover-leaf of linked semicircular apses.

As it stood in 3600 BC
What Ġgantija looked like in its prime.
A compact cluster of massive, irregular pale limestone megaliths form two side-by-side clover-leaf temples enclosed by a low boundary wall on the Xagħra plateau. Inner-facing worked blocks mark five semicircular apses linked by a central passage; rubble fills the thickness of the walls and traces of plaster cling between blocks. The southern temple reaches roughly 6 m high; the site sits amid low cultivated fields with the sea visible toward the southeast.
