About Hagar Qim
Malta
Located on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Ħaġar Qim is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the best-preserved ancient temple complexes in the world. The site features a series of megalithic temples constructed using massive stone blocks, some of which weigh up to 20 tons. The layout of Ħaġar Qim includes multiple temples, some with intricate stone carvings and distinctive features. The alignment of these structures with the sun and celestial bodies suggests that the temples were used for religious or astronomical purposes. The Ħaġar Qim site has been carefully preserved and excavated over the years, with ongoing efforts to protect and study the temples.
