Temples of Malta - No2

Description

This is a little serial of the Temples of Malta...
As I said before, I visited Malta this April with my class of school.
This are some of the photos I took of the ruins of the old temples.
This Temple is called Hagar-Quim...
Here you can see the small island filfla through a window...

Hagar Qim was built during the Tarxien phase, between 3000 BC and 2500 BC. The floor plan seems less regular than its predecessor at Ggantija. Six large, circular rooms are connected by an interior passage. Most of the rooms also have outside entrances, and an open-air shrine is set into the outer wall.

Hagar Qim is notable for its impressive and finely-smoothed entrance facade, for the huge stone blocks used in its construction, and for its associated artifacts: the "Venus of Malta" and other female statuettes, and a four-sided altar with plant carvings.
