Budgettips
Entry fees cover all temple access and guided tours are available for a small extra fee; visiting on the first Sunday of the month offers free entry. Consider purchasing a Heritage Malta Pass if visiting multiple sites.

Snabba fakta: The Ġgantija Temples have stones weighing up to 50 tons, some of the heaviest prehistoric stones anywhere in the world. The temples are older than the Great Pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge.
Höjdpunkter: One of the temple's largest stones measures about 6 meters long and weighs an estimated 50 tons, an impressive feat for ancient builders who had no metal tools. Visitors can feel the rough limestone walls, which radiate a coolness that locals once believed had protective powers.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes as the uneven limestone surfaces can be slippery when wet.
- Bring a hat and water especially in summer as shade is limited.
- Photography is best early in the day when soft light highlights the temple details.
- Avoid weekends when local tourists increase crowd sizes. The site has interpretative panels, so take time to read them for context.
