About Tarxien Temples

Tarxien Temples, dating from 3600 to 2500 BC, are the most complex of all temple sites in Malta and consist of four megalithic structures. The temples are renowned for the detail of their carvings, which include domestic animals carved in relief, altars, and screens decorated with spiral designs and other patterns. Of particular note is a chamber set into the thickness of the wall between the South and Central temples, which is famous for its relief of two bulls and a sow.
