Gozo, Xagħra, Ġgantija temple complex

Ġgantija is a megalithic temple complex from the Neolithic era (c. 3600–2500 BC). The Ġgantija temples are the earliest of the Megalithic Temples of Malta and are older than the pyramids of Egypt. Their makers erected the two Ġgantija temples during the Neolithic, which makes these temples more than 5500 years old and the world's second oldest existing manmade religious structures after Göbekli Tepe in present-day Turkey. Together with other similar structures, these have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
