33 Valleta, Malta- Mnjdra Temples-Heritage Malta

 After visited Hagar qim temples, we took a long walk to reach Mnajdra Temples.  Mnajdra Temples  are another prehistoric archaeological site as a part of the UNESCO World Heritage site known as the "Megalithic Temples of Malta."

The Mnajdra Temples date back to the Neolithic period and were built between 3600 and 2500 BCE, making them some of the oldest freestanding stone structures in the world. The site consists of three temples, referred to as the South Temple, the Middle Temple, and the North Temple.

The temples are constructed using large limestone slabs and are built into the natural rock formations of the coastal cliffs. The design and layout of the temples showcase the advanced engineering skills and architectural knowledge of the prehistoric inhabitants of Malta.

As we are walking towards the Mnajdra Temples, I was greeted by a beautiful sight. Along the pathway leading to the temples, vibrant wildflowers bloomed, adding a burst of color to the landscape.  Here, I have included a selection of the photos to share the splendor of the wild flowers.
