Two temples stand on the edge of this Gozo village, raised from about 3600 BC and still carrying walls six metres high — some six centuries older than the first earthwork at Stonehenge and roughly a thousand years older than the pyramids of Giza. A colonel cleared the site in 1827 and threw away everything he dug through; UNESCO inscribed what survived in 1980, and five more Maltese temples were added to it in 1992.
