Xaghra: Ggantija
Description
The oldest free standing structure in the world is the boast for this temple site, it gave rise to myths of a race of giants that once lived on the islands due to its size. Today it's known it was built around 3,600BC and in use for nearly 1,000 years before just being abandoned. Most of the site was uncovered in the 18th Century and over time has suffered significant deterioration, but recent renovations are trying to reverse the damage and the site is now listed by UNESCO. A small visitors centre puts some context to the site and who the people who built the temple may have been.
