Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Temples are amongst the most popular and most visited archaeological sites on the Maltese islands. But what is it about these sites that makes them so unique? What do they tell us about the people who built them? And who discovered them? This fully-illustrated guidebook attempts to answer these questions. It highlights some of the reasons why every visitor to the sites should feel privileged and why we should all protect these sites to extend this privilege to our children.
The large stone temple structures on Malta are amongst the earliest such constructions in the world, long before the pyramids were built in Egypt. This super book forms a pictorial record of all the temples on Malta, whilst also providing background information on the social and cultural history of the period. Built between c.3500 and 2500 BC, the temples reflect, and were part of, a period of great development on Malta and Gozo, especially in artistic and architectural terms. This is a clear, well illustrated account of the temple-building period, as well as of what went before and what came after.
This book synthesizes the archaeology of the Maltese archipelago from the first human colonization c. 5000 BC through the Roman period (c. 400 AD). Claudia Sagona interprets the archaeological record to explain changing social and political structures, intriguing ritual practices, and cultural contact through several millennia.

There is more to the island than sun and sea and this guide will help readers to discover the Malta beyond the tourist resorts.
