Ġgantija is a Neolithic, megalithic temple complex on the Mediterranean island of Gozo (in the village of Xaghra). The Ġgantija temples are the earliest of a series of megalithic temples in Malta. Their makers erected the two Ġgantija temples during the Neolithic Age (c. 3600-2500 BC), which makes these temples among the oldest megalithic monuments in the world, predating even the Giza pyramids in Egypt and England’s Stonehenge.

Together with other similar structures on Malta, these have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Megalithic Temples of Malta.
