Kordin Temples, Archaeological site at Corradino Heights, Paola, Malta
Kordin Temples is an archaeological site on Corradino Heights in Paola featuring remains of temple complexes from the Neolithic period. The location shows stone walls, curved rooms, and outdoor areas arranged in the typical Maltese prehistoric temple pattern.
These complexes developed around 3700 BCE and rank among Malta's oldest known building structures. Two of the three original temples were destroyed during World War II air raids.
The temple structures show advanced building techniques from prehistoric Malta through their megalithic methods and spatial planning. Visitors can see how people shaped stone and created complex rooms with careful arrangement.
Visiting requires advance booking through Heritage Malta, as the site is not freely accessible to the public. Guided tours are available and help explain the archaeological remains and their layout.
A large limestone trough with distinctive grooves at the temple entrance suggests early food processing methods. This discovery provides insight into the daily activities of people who used these sites.
