Xrobb l-Għaġin Temple, Megalithic temple ruins in Marsaxlokk, Malta.
The temple site contains ancient stone structures positioned on eroding cliffs along the southeastern coast of Malta, featuring two apses and a central niche.
Archaeologists Themistocles Zammit and Thomas Ashby conducted initial excavations between 1914 and 1915, discovering numerous artifacts including clay bowls and decorated slabs.
The temple complex, dating from 4000 BC, represents early Maltese architectural practices with its artificial terrace construction and southeastern orientation.
Located within Xrobb l-Għaġin Nature Park, the archaeological site requires careful navigation due to its position near eroding cliffs and environmental concerns.
Recent investigations in 2015 revealed additional megalithic structures in a nearby gully, suggesting the presence of an undiscovered monumental retaining wall.
