It consists of two structures built between c.3600 and c.3200 BC.<\/p><div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><p>Notwithstanding its age, the monument survives in a considerably good state of preservation. The Neolithic builders made use of both locally sourced Globigerina and Coralline Limestone. The hard-wearing Coralline Limestone is used extensively at \u0120gantija, while the softer Globigerina Limestone is reserved for inner furnishings, such as doorways, altars and decorative slabs.<br><br>The site consists of two structures, with separate entrances and a common boundary wall. Each unit consists of a number of apses flanking a central corridor. Two plaster fragments with red ochre, now on display at the \u0120gantija Archaeological Park Interpretation Centre suggest that the internal walls were plastered and painted over.<br><br>Remains of animal bone discovered in this site suggest communal rituals and feasting. The use of fire is shown by the presence of stone hearths. A number of libation holes in the floor may have been used for the pouring of liquid offerings. It is probable that during ceremonial activities, the congregation would have assembled outside the monument, since the large forecourt in front of the two structures was purposely raised by the same builders.<br><br>Entrance to the \u0120gantija Archaeological Park is from an Interpretation Centre that provides visitors with the opportunity to explore various aspects related to life in the Neolithic Period. The centre is also home to a selection of the most significant artefacts discovered at various prehistoric sites in Gozo.<\/p><div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><p><strong>FACILITIES AVAILABLE ON SITE<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-group has-small-font-size is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6f269b7d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Food-and-Drinks.svg\" alt=\"Food and Drinks Available\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gift-shop.svg\" alt=\"Gift Shop\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"wp-image-241787\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Seating-e1762500373205.png\" alt=\"Indoor \/ Outdoor Seating\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/lockers.svg\" alt=\"Lockers\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Diaper-changing-area.svg\" alt=\"Nappy Changing Facilities\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Food &amp;

The building came to house the archaeological collection in 1986 as part of a reorganisation programme of the Gozo museum collection which led to separate collections being exhibited in various buildings in the Citadel.<br><br>The museum\u2019s permanent display is, at present, divided into three main sections: Prehistory, the Classical Period, and the Mediaeval and Early Modern periods.<br><br>The Prehistoric display focuses on many themes, including natural resources, subsistence, daily life, religious beliefs and practices, and burial customs. The Classical Period is represented by a number of Phoenician, Punic, and Roman artefacts, which were discovered on several sites in Gozo and Comino. The artefacts range from those associated with burial to statuary and the decorative arts. The museum visit continues with a display of materials from the Mediaeval and Early Modern Periods, ending with the arrival of the Knights of St John.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer -->\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>FACILITIES AVAILABLE ON SITE<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:group {\"fontSize\":\"small\",\"layout\":{\"type\":\"constrained\",\"wideSize\":\"300px\",\"justifyContent\":\"left\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-small-font-size\"><!-- wp:table {\"className\":\"is-style-stripes\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gift-shop.svg\" alt=\"Gift Shop\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img class=\"wp-image-241787\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Seating-e1762500373205.png\" alt=\"Indoor \/ Outdoor Seating\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Gift Shop<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Indoor \/ Outdoor Seating Area<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group -->","post_title":"Gozo Museum of Archaeology","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gozo-museum-of-archaeology","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-12-03 14:01:42","post_modified_gmt":"2025-12-03 13:01:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/?post_type=sites&#038;p=1666","menu_order":10,"post_type":"sites","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":1723,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2021-12-09 10:39:20","post_date_gmt":"2021-12-09 09:39:20","post_content":"<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":6} -->\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From million-year-old fossils to beautiful butterflies and even moonstone fragments, the Gozo Nature Museum is a wonderful journey in the realm of Gozo\u2019s natural resources and their use by the island\u2019s inhabitants.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer -->\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Situated behind the Courts of Justice at the \u010aittadella in Victoria, the museum is housed within a cluster of three interconnected domestic buildings dating back to the 1600s, which boast several authentic architectural features.

The latter houses the wooden milling mechanism that still incorporates the original circular grinding stones between which grain was crushed into flour.<br>The exhibits at Ta\u2019 Kola, particularly those in the workshop, belonged to the last miller residing in this windmill and were used to operate and maintain the building and milling mechanism. The first floor is equipped with vernacular furniture meant to recreate a domestic dwelling, common in most local rural areas of centuries past. These rooms, though relatively small in size, were meant to accommodate the miller\u2019s family, a common arrangement during the Knights\u2019 and the British period.<br><br>The various items on
