Ġgantija Archaeological Park

The temple was smaller than expected, so don't have expectations based on the name 😄 The small museum that you enter first is quite interesting, but there were two guided companies at the same time as us and they were loud and took a lot of space, so we had to go back to the museum afterwards to see the rest. If you want to get a feel of the place, set aside time to just be there (and maybe wait for guided tours to move on). If you are lucky and can be in one of the temple areas alone, you can better get a sense of the energy and history of the place. You can easily get through it in less than an hour, but if you have time, just enjoy the surroundings and the magical sensation of a temple older than the pyramids.

Got there early so could read all exhibits and get around without too many people. Initial building is nice and lots of interesting exhibits that bring the temple to life. Super easy to get around. Really worthwhile visit.

Exceeded our expectations. The entrance looked very modest but the exhibition of very early artefacts was stunningly beautiful and impressive. It's hard to imagine that so much creative and functional workmanship can be achieved without the use of metal implements. Even more surprising and impressive was the construction of the multi-chambered building on the site. Quite how this was achieved in an age of low-tech is a mystery. The staff were polite and very helpful. The gift shop was well stocked with an eclectic mix of quality souvenirs, publications etc and (of course) the usual tasteless crap un the budget cost range. Whilst our visit was overall a positive experience, it was somewhat marred by the large tour parties with loud group leaders. To be avoided! Suggested visit duration - not less than an hour. Highly recommended.

Very interesting megalithic/neolithic site, not a far drive from Victoria. Available drop off with the hop on hop off tour. Entry is €10 per person. A couple of toilets on site near entry and exit. The museum portion is short and sweet but still very interesting with many artifacts from this site and others around Gozo. Some scaffolding still in place supporting the structure but the site is still mostly visible. Well worth a visit.

If you are interested in ancient history of humanity or architecture then Ggantija is a perfect place to visit. The shear size of the megalithic stones are a sight to behold and will leave you full of questions. How did they move the huge stones? Why was it built? Who built it? How old really is it? As you enter the site you make your way through the museum first and can read about the myth of it being built by a giant and veiw various artifacts found around the temple. You can also have a guided tour via QR codes at each point of interest. They provide toilets located in the museum and whole site is wheelchair accessible. Also I would recommend that you visit the old windmill a few streets away first. The admission to the windmill comes with a discount for the admission to the temple. Soo if you are in Gozo I would definitely recommend to all history buffs.

A beautiful little Neolithic site and museum—highly recommended! How often do you get to see something older than the Pyramids of Giza? Don’t miss this glimpse into ancient human history.

Last october we visited an amazing site. The exhibition in the museum gives a very comprehensive overview, enough to fully enjoy and appreciate the on-site visit. Difficult to grasp how people were capable building such a construction 5.000 years ago! Lots of respect for these achievements. And also for keeping the memory alive!

There is a really good interpretation centre and museum at the entrance of the site. Its worth spending time there to understand the history of the site during the recent as well as ancient past. The Garigue garden showing local endemic plants is a wonderful addition. There's a gift dhop at the exit for ghose wanting souvenirs.
