The Tarxien Temples are a prehistoric archaeological site located in the town of Tarxien, on the southern coast of Malta. The site consists of four megalithic structures, dating back to the Neolithic period, between 3600 and 2500 BC. The temples are believed to have been used for religious purposes, and are considered to be one of the most important prehistoric sites in Malta.
The temples are made up of large limestone blocks, some of which weigh up to five tons. The structures are decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures, depicting animals, plants, and other symbolic figures. The temples are divided into different rooms, each with its own unique features and functions.
One of the most impressive features of the Tarxien Temples is the intricate stone carvings that adorn the walls and ceilings. These carvings depict various animals, including bulls, goats, and pigs, as well as human figures and abstract designs. The carvings are thought to have had religious significance, and may have been used in rituals or ceremonies.
Another notable feature of the Tarxien Temples is the presence of large stone altars, which were used for sacrifices and offerings. These altars are located in the central part of the temples, and are surrounded by smaller rooms and chambers.
Despite their age, the Tarxien Temples are remarkably well-preserved, and offer a fascinating glimpse into the prehistoric culture of Malta. Visitors to the site can explore the temples and learn about the history and significance of this important archaeological site.
