13. Ġgantija – over 5,600 years old

One of the oldest places in the world, Ggantija, also called “Tower of the Giants”, is a complex of megalithic temples on the Mediterranean island of Gozo, which was erected during the Neolithic period (c. 3600-2500 BC) . In reality, this monument consists of two temples, built side by side and inside a boundary wall. The one to the south is larger and older, dating from approximately 3600 BC, and, incredible as it may seem, is the better preserved of the two.

The Ggantija temples are the first in a series of megalithic temples in Malta, which, along with other structures, have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For those who don't know, the Ggantija temples are the first in a series of megalithic temples in Malta, an archipelago located in the central Mediterranean region, which, along with other similar structures, have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is speculated that fertility cults were practiced there and the legend was believed that the temples had been built by giants.
