Malta: Ħaġar Qim and Imnajdra

The megalithic temple complexes of Ħaġar Qim and Imnajdra date back from around 3600 to 3200 BC. That means they're more than 5000 years old! That means they are the world's oldest free standing man-made structures, and probably the oldest religious site in the world: no small feat.

Zenzero started off at the Imnajdra complex, and then continued up to the ones at Ħaġar Qim which are located a 5 minute walk away. On the way, Zenzero caught glimpse of at the island of Filfla.

Some of the stones at the temples are up to 3m high by 6m long! Some say some of the stones are so big that giants had to have moved them: in the last photo Zenzero tries to see what it feels like to be a giant at the temples.

Zenzero visits the sacred island of Malta

Malta might be small, but it has a lot to offer. At just 300km² ,  it's one of Europe's smallest and most densely populated countries. During his voyage here he will visit the Ħaġar Qim and Imnajdra temples, Tarxien temples, Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, Valletta, Mdina and Gozo. St. Paul might have arrived here by accident, but Zenzero's trip was surely planned, Berlitz guide and all.
