Borġ in-Nadur, Bronze Age archaeological site in Birżebbuġa, Malta.
The site includes a central area with a four-apse plan surrounded by megalithic walls measuring approximately 50 centimeters in height and extending across the complex.
The location transformed from a Neolithic temple constructed around 2500 BC into a Bronze Age settlement, with archaeological excavations beginning in 1922 under Margaret Murray.
The discovery of pottery fragments with Mycenaean designs at the site demonstrates the connection between Malta and other Mediterranean civilizations during the Bronze Age period.
Visitors can purchase entry tickets at Għar Dalam, with prices ranging from 2.50 euros for children to 5 euros for adults, and the site operates Tuesday through Sunday.
A substantial defensive wall faces inland rather than toward the sea, suggesting the inhabitants were more concerned about land-based threats to their settlement.
