Prehistoric splendor! Situated 500 meters from the temples of Ħaġar Qim and almost on the edge of the 80 meter high cliff coast are the magnificent megalithic temples of Mnajdra. The temple complex is grouped around an oval forecourt and consists of three temples. In terms of timeline, the construction history of the Mnajdra temples is similar to that of Ħaġar Qim. The Primitive Temple (the northernmost temple) dates from before 3600 BC, the Central Temple dates from the period 3600-3000 BC and the Lower Temple (closest to the coast) dates from 3000-2500 BC. As is typical of Maltese megalithic temples, the temples of Mnajdra also consist of oval rooms, the walls are made of enormous stones, and the entrances are built in the form of trilithons. As with Ħaġar Qim, the Mnajdra complex also includes an oracle chamber and a temple area aligned with the movements of the sun. The southernmost temple is probably a solar temple, as it has been determined that the entrance and temple area are aligned with the solstices and the equinox. All in all, the temples at Mnajdra are fascinating and the visitor is also treated to a wide view of the Mediterranean!

The Mnajdra temples are located near the village of Qrendi in the South of Malta and in close proximity of the Ħaġar Qim temples. The temple complex consists of three structures from different prehistoric periods, with the oldest one possibly having over 5500 years. These are known as the East Temple (the oldest), the South Temple and the Central Temple. From other remains around the area, archaeologists believe that the site could have also contained other dwellings. The South Temple at Mnajdra is the most famous of the three. It is aligned with the four seasons, and if you visit the temple at sunrise on the first day of each season you’ll have a remarkable experience. As the sun rises above the Ħaġar Qim hill, a ray of sun enters the main door and hits one of two large slabs on the inside of the temple, depending on the season. Both slabs are decorated with hundreds of tiny holes.
