Ħaġar Qim, Neolithic temple complex in Qrendi, Malta.
The Ħaġar Qim temple stands on a hilltop featuring large limestone blocks arranged in a series of connected oval chambers and passages.
Built between 3600 and 3200 BCE during the Ġgantija phase, this megalithic structure represents one of the oldest religious buildings on Earth.
The temple contains multiple altars, decorative spiral carvings, and stone statues that demonstrate the religious practices of ancient Mediterranean societies.
The site opens daily from 9 AM to 6 PM between April and September, and from 9 AM to 5 PM between October and March.
One massive stone in the outer wall measures 6.4 meters in length and weighs approximately 20 tons, marking an extraordinary engineering achievement.
