Hagar Qim Temples

Hagar Qim is an impressive temple from the Maltese prehistory, created by huge megaliths and large altars 

The Hagar Qim Temple in Qrendi, Malta was discovered under rubble in 1839, dating from around 2400-2000 B.C. The largest megalith found here is some seven metres high and weighs around 20 tons. The excavations also produced many 'fat figure' statuettes including the naturalistic 'Venus of Malta'.

On the outer side of the north flank of Hagar Qim Temple an open-air shrine has been inserted into the wall, whose facade combines the suggestive symbols of the male and female reproductive organs.

There is also the unique four-sided altar, and the temple’s construction employs corbelling or over-sailing of the walls in order to narrow the span of the roof. The Hagar Qim Temples are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
