Misraħ Għar il-Kbir, Archaeological site in Dingli, Malta
The site features an intricate network of parallel tracks carved into the limestone bedrock, spanning across the rocky terrain near Dingli Cliffs.
The cart ruts at Misraħ Għar il-Kbir date back to prehistoric times, with evidence suggesting they were created between 3800 and 2500 BC during the Temple Period.
The complex system of tracks represents early engineering achievements of Malta's ancient inhabitants, demonstrating their advanced understanding of transportation methods.
Visitors should plan their exploration during morning hours and wear sturdy shoes due to the uneven terrain and exposed nature of the archaeological site.
The depth of these ancient tracks reaches up to 60 centimeters, with distances between parallel ruts measuring between 110 to 140 centimeters.
