Explore Mnajdra, a prehistoric temple composed of massive limestone blocks that overlooks the sea and nearby islet. Watch a 4-D film in the visitor center to learn about the 5,000 years of history associated with the temple. View a prehistoric chamber with an elliptical formation in alignment with the summer solstice sunrise so that, at dawn on the first day of summer, the rays of light pass through the hole and illuminate the chamber. Walk down one of the nature trails to the lookout tower for a view of the nearby island and nature reserve. The temple has convenient parking facilities and is easily accessible by bus.

A bigger structure than Stonehenge and built 5500 years ago, amazing. Fantastic location overlooking the sea. The 4D film really put it all into context making this a very interesting and engaging...

Interesting historical site. Two temples you can visit. There is an audio guide to download on your phone providing context to the sites. The temples are shaded by a protective awning that helps in their preservation. The visitor center has toilets and bottled drinks for purchase. The walk to the second temple is nicely paved and downhill. For 1 euro, you can get a ride on a golf cart like vehicle back to the top of the hill. Was a nice relief on a warm afternoon.

Fascinating site which resonates with the very ancient past. In July 2021, there were a few visitors but it was hardly an issue. Amazing how few people are aware of these Maltese megalithic sites. Better for me I guess.
