Short description: Seven megalithic temples are found on the islands of Malta and Gozo, each the fruit of individual development. The two temples of Ggantija on the island of Gozo are notable for their gigantic Bronze structures. On the island of Malta, the temples of Hagar Qin, Mnajdra and Tarxien are unique architectural masterpieces, given the limited resources available to their builders. The Ta'Hagrat and Skorba complexes show how the temple-building tradition has been handed down in Malta.
