Tarxien Temples
This site, dating from 3600 to 2500 BC, is the most complex of all temple sites in Malta and consists of four megalithic structures
Hal Saflieni Hypogeum
is a subterranean structure excavated c. 2500 B.C. Thought to be originally a sanctuary, it became a necropolis in prehistoric times. It is the only prehistoric underground temple in the world. To ensure its conservation, the siteâs microclimate is strictly regulated. For this reason, the site is open to a maximum of 80 visitors each day. A tour of the site starts with a brief introductory exhibition and multilingual audio-visual film focusing on the temple building peoples and the Hypogeumâs relationship to Maltaâs temple sites. Booking is a necessity.
Almost all of Malta's bus routes start from the large roundabout just outside the main gate, making everywhere in the country accessible.
There is also the ferry which goes to Sliema for â¬1.00.
