Ggantija Temples Tours and Activities
503 Reviews
Built about 5,600 years ago on the island of Gozo, the Ggantija Temples are one of the most popular destinations for visitors – and one of the world's oldest manmade religious sites still in existence today. They are astonishing not only for their age, but also because they were constructed at a time when neither metal tools nor the wheel had yet been known on the island. Just one of seven megalithic temples on Gozo and Malta, they were excavated in the early 19th century based on local knowledge of the site based on folklore.
The Ggantija Temples complex includes an altar, receptacles for fire and ceremonial flames as well as water offerings, and there is evidence that animal sacrifices were performed on site. While mythology posits that a giantess built the temple, today it is thought that a type of ball bearing feature was used to move the enormous stones into place – thus its name, which translates to “Giant's Grotto.”

Gozo with a difference as seen at sunset when you can enjoy the serenity and natural beauty of Malta’s sister island. The guided tour starts in the afternoon with a visit to the Ggantija Temples. The megaliths are the first examples of built architecture, the world’s oldest free-standing monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (two of the seven Megalithic Temples of Malta). They are considerably older than the Pyramids of Egypt. We then walk around the citadel situated in the centre of the island, from whose walls you can admire the soft hues of Gozo’s undulating countryside. As the day draws to a close we go down the spectacular winding road to Dwejra, the ideal location for watching the sun set below the horizon. To round off the evening, a relaxing dinner in one of Gozo’s restaurants.
