Skorba Temples, Neolithic temple complex in Mġarr, Malta
The stone structures of Skorba contain two megalithic temples positioned on the northern edge of Żebbiegħ, with remains of ancient domestic dwellings around them.
Archaeological excavations in the 1960s revealed structures dating back to 3600 BC, making Skorba one of the earliest human settlements discovered in Malta.
The site yielded numerous pottery fragments, stone tools, and terracotta figurines that demonstrate the technological capabilities of Neolithic Mediterranean communities.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking bus number 44 from Valletta, with tickets available at the Local Council office in Mġarr.
The temple complex features distinctive libation holes carved into extensive paving slabs and floors made from torba, a traditional Maltese cement-like material.
