Megalithic Monuments, Tarxien
The remains of numerous temples erected in the Fourth and Third Millennium B.C. are unique in the world. Stone idols, animal representations carved in relief, stone tablets, altars and screens decorated with spirals and other patterns, fire places, ornamented niches and oracular chambers enhance the attraction of these magnificent sanctuaries.

Hal Saflieni, Hypogeum, Paola (Circa 2,400 B.C.)
This is an ancient underground monument, 12 metres below street level. It consists of a system of caves, passages and cubicles cut into the stone, similar to the interior of megalithic temples.

Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Temples
limits of Qrendi (Circa 3,000 B.C.) Situated on the southern coast of the island, these two temples are among the most imposing megalithic structures in Malta. Some of the stones are as high as 4 metres and weigh some 20 tons. Both temples are situated within walking distance from one another.

Ghar Dalam Cave and Museum, Birzebbugia
This cave is a veritable depository of semi-fossilized remains and extinct species such as dwarf elephants and hippopotami which roamed the island some 250,000 years ago, ostensibly when it was still part of the Africa land mass.

Ggantija Prehistoric Temples, Xaghra, Gozo (Circa 3,500 - 4000 B.C.)
These are considered to be one of the earliest free standing constructions and even pre-date the Pyramids. The gigantic boulders weigh several tons, those of the outer wall reaching as high as six metres. A group of two very important temples are erected side-by-side on the Xaghra plateau. Close by, one can also find the 17th century Xaghra Windmill.
