Located three kilometers from the Temples of Skorba, it is a well preserved complex consisting of two temples dating from the 36th to the 32nd century BC Ta 'Ħagrat was probably built over an earlier village, as many pots and pottery remains have been found. . The most prestigious find is a limestone statuette representing a primordial building model.

The Temple is part of the multiserial UNESCO site "Megalithic Temples of Malta (1980/1992)"

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.
