Buġibba Temple, Archaeological temple in St. Paul's Bay, Malta.
The limestone temple features a trilithon entrance leading to a corridor and central area containing three apses, situated within hotel grounds.
Archaeologist Themistocles Zammit discovered the temple during the 1920s when he noticed large stones in a field near the current location.
The temple provided insights into prehistoric Maltese religious practices through its architectural elements and ceremonial spaces dating from 3150 to 2500 BC.
The temple site remains accessible during daylight hours, with multiple bus routes connecting it to Valletta and other towns across Malta.
Two decorated stone blocks found at the site, including an altar and a block with fish carvings, are displayed at the National Museum of Archaeology.
