Malta Temple Tour
Malta Temple Tour : A Journey to Prehistory
Malta temple tours are a must for anyone who travels to this
beautiful Mediterranean island. Malta and Gozo are home to seven
megalithic temples, all of which are designated as world heritage
sites by UNESCO. These megalithic temples date back 5500 years ago,
and are the oldest free-standing stone structures in the world, even
older than the Stonehenge and the Pyramids. It is also home to more
than thirty other temples, all of which reflect Malta's rich past.
Malta temple tours will take you to a time thousands of years ago
where you can witness the development of the temple tradition of the
area. These sacred places you will visit will fill you with an aura
of mystery, a feel of ancient wisdom, and an enigmatic atmosphere of
long lost legends. You will wonder who actually built them and how
they did it, why there are just so many of them in a little area,
and what these were actually for.
Almost all of the temples in Malta can be visited through the
inexpensive Maltese bus system plus a ferry trip to the island of
Gozo. When going to Malta temple tours, it may not be practical to
visit all 40 temples in the island, lest you tire yourself out and
the mystery will lose its color.
Malta temple tours are best designed to give you an opportunity to
experience for yourself the profound and very sacred places in
Malta. With these tours, you have the chance to establish a
connection with the ancient energies present in the temples. If you
believe in the power of reinvigoration, then Malta temple tours will
provide you all these and more.
You will notice how Maltese temples are usually constructed out of
stone, in a cloverleaf floor plan. Mostly, they consist of
incomplete domes and horizontal arches. The temple curvatures will
remind you of underground burial chambers, and you will come to
imagine the circular plan of dwellings then.
Malta temple tours are fairly easy since most of them lie near each
other. Only one temple is found outside the island of Malta. Often,
there are at least two temple sites that lie close to each other.
Among the temples in Malta that should not be missed by a traveler
are the Hagar and Qim, the Mnajdra and Tarxien, and the Hal Saflieni
Hypogeum. You can also visit the Ggantija in Gozo and those in
Valletta.
While visiting temples, it is also worthwhile to visit museums
nearby which holds many artifacts taken from these temple sites
through the centuries. This will put all the sites you see in your
Malta temple tours into perspective.
Malta temple tours will undoubtedly gain you better appreciation on
the impact of ancient civilization in our world and time today. The
builders of these temples seem to not only be highly skilled at
putting together limestone structures and quarrying, but they have
amazingly developed a very organized religion through these temples.
