The various campaigns of excavations carried here by the Missione Archeologica Italiana a Malta, the University of Malta, and Heritage Malta have uncovered the remains of numerous temples built on the same spot.<\/h6><div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><p>Activity on the site started in the prehistoric Tarxien phase (3,150-2,500 BC) when a number of megalithic temples were constructed on the site. Occupation of the site during the prehistoric period also extended to the Bronze Age Bor\u0121 in-Nadur phase (1,500-700 BC).<br><br>The Phoenician &#8211; Punic period (c.8th-3rd centuries BC) saw adaptations of the temple to fit newly emerging ritual needs but the sacred character and function of the site was maintained. The small temple of Astarte established here by the Phoenicians was to become renowned across the Mediterranean. The Punico-Hellenistic and Roman periods (c.3rd century BC-c.5th century AD) witnessed not only further adaptations to the same temple but also extensions resulting into a sanctuary complex that included a colonnaded portico. With the emergence of Christianity in the Byzantine period (c.5th century AD), the temple underwent further alterations to meet the contemporary ritual demands. A Christian basilica was built while, on its rear, a baptismal font was incorporated in the originally prehistoric temple. Throughout these successive periods, however, the sacred character and function of the site was always maintained. Then, towards the late Byzantine period (c.9th century AD), the site may have been also fortified, perhaps reflecting the political climate then prevalent.<br><br>It was only in the Arab period (9th-11th century AD) that the site was used for burial purposes until it was completely abandoned and, subsequently, turned into agricultural land. The adjacent farmhouse was built in the 17th century in association with the agricultural activity then taking place on this site.<\/p><div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/megalithicroutes.eu\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Logo-MRCultural-Route.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-227605\" style=\"width:364px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tas-Sil\u0121 is the archaeological complex with the longest history of use within &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/explore\/tas-silg-archaeological-complex\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":1914,"template":"","accessibility":[],"site-types":[3],"site-regions":[11],"periods":[28,29,30],"class_list":["post-1911","sites","type-sites","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","site-types-archaeological-remains","site-regions-south","periods-prehistory","periods-phoenician","periods-roman"],"acf":{"page_watermark":false,"components":[{"acf_fc_layout":"core_-_site_single"},{"acf_fc_layout":"faqs","title":"Frequently Asked Questions","content":"<p><strong>Answers to the most common questions the Tas-Sil\u0121 Archaeological Complex.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","show_view_all_faqs_link":true,"faqs":[{"question":"Can the sanctuary complex still be seen?","answer":"<p>What remains of the various temples are the structures, which can still tell us a lot about this important site.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Do I need to book to see this site?","answer":"<p>Yes you can book through our concierge service.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Can the site be visited without a guide?","answer":"<p>Yes, however the complexity of the site makes it very difficult to understand without the help of a trained guide.<\/p>\n"}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"carousel_-_featured_sites","title":"Featured Museums & Sites","sites":[{"ID":568,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2021-10-25 16:38:26","post_date_gmt":"2021-10-25 14:38:26","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":6} -->\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u0126a\u0121ar Qim and Mnajdra are two megalithic sites dating back to the late Neolithic, over 5000 years old. They were designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1992, forming part of the serial inscription of the \u2018Megalithic Temples of Malta\u2019<\/strong>. <strong>\u0126a\u0121ar Qim is located at the top of a promontory, while Mnajdra is located 500m downhill. Given their proximity, it is likely that both sites were used by the same community. The Park also includes a Visitor Centre.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"57px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:57px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The site of <strong>\u0126a\u0121ar Qim<\/strong> consists of a group of megalithic structures constructed in globigerina limestone, situated on the crest of a ridge. To the west, the site commands views over the open sea, while to the east it overlooks the edge of a large fertile plain. The main structure of&nbsp;\u0126a\u0121ar Qim&nbsp;is unusual, with features and doorways along its external wall. The floor of the central passage is paved with stone slabs, while the floors in the chambers branching off this passage are made from beaten earth. Doorways inside the structures are either trilithon, built of two upright stone blocks with a lintel and threshold, or an opening cut into a single megalith, known as a \u2018porthole\u2019 doorway. Parts of the structure were originally covered by a corbelled roof, made of successive courses of megaliths, each one smaller than the one below. The original low-relief carvings are now represented by copies in this structure. One of the originals is displayed at the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta, while the other is displayed at the Visitor Centre.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Mnajdra<\/strong>&nbsp;consists of three structures, constructed in both globigerina and coralline limestone. The first and oldest is the small three-apsed structure. The South structure, with its concave fa\u00e7ade, was next to be completed, followed by the Central structure, which was constructed on an artificial platform between the two earlier structures. The doorway of the South is aligned with the sunrise during the spring and autumn equinoxes. At the winter and summer solstices, the beams of the rising sun pass along the sides of the main doorway, each time illuminating a different decorated slab within the first chamber. Apart from the central passage leading to chambers on either side, the structures at Mnajdra also include tiny chambers constructed within the thickness of the walls.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Both <strong>\u0126a\u0121ar Qim and Mnajdra<\/strong> are protected from the elements by shelters. Since these sites were excavated less than two centuries ago, their slow deterioration has been witnessed at first hand. Shelters were therefore constructed in 2008 and are intended to slow down the impact of natural elements on the rate of deterioration of these sites until alternative means of preservation are tested and implemented.<\/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:group {\"fontSize\":\"small\",\"layout\":{\"type\":\"constrained\",\"contentSize\":\"750px\",\"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><img class=\"wp-image-240917\" style=\"width: NaNpx;\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Audio-Guide.svg\" alt=\"Audio Guides\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img 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 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><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img src=\"https:\/\/heritagemalta.mt\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/lockers.svg\" alt=\"Lockers\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Audio Guides <br><strong>Languages: <\/strong><br><strong>MT, EN, DE, IT, EL, ES, FR,  CN\/ZH, JA, PL<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Food &amp;

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.

disappeared. It was in use between 4000 BC and 1500BC. Covering a remarkable 500 square metres, it was amongst the first Maltese entries on the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the \u0120gantija Megalithic Site.<\/h6>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"16px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The \u0126al Saflieni Hypogeum lies on the summit of a hill in Paola, not far from the Grand Harbour. It was accidentally discovered in 1902 by a stone mason who was laying the foundations to build a number of houses. By the time the Hypogeum was reported most of the houses had been completed and made ready for habitation. As a consequence, the upper level of the monument sustained irreversible damage. By the end of 1903 the site became public property and its excavation lasted until 1911.<br><br>The site yielded a wealth of archaeological material, including pottery, human bones, personal ornaments, little carved animals and larger figurines. The Hypogeum at \u0126al Saflieni is a unique monument, consisting of halls, chambers and passages hewn out of globigerina limestone. The complex is dug in three levels: the <strong>upper<\/strong> level, the <strong>middle<\/strong> level, and the <strong>lower<\/strong> level, with the site users digging deeper as space became limited.<br><br>The upper level consists of a large hollow with a central passage and burial chambers cut on each side. One of the chambers still contains original burial deposits. Some of the smoothly-finished chambers of the middle level recall the interiors of above-ground megalithic structures. The deepest room in the lower level has four side niches and lies 10.6 metres under road level.<br><br>This unique monument was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981, as a site that bears unique testimony to a civilization that has disappeared (criterion iii).<\/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 {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|white\"}}}},\"backgroundColor\":\"vivid-red\",\"textColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color\"><strong>Last-minute tickets might be available<\/strong> and <strong>can only be purchased one day before the visit<\/strong> on a first-come, first-served basis.
