Ġgantija Temples - Cleaning perimeter wall

This photograph from 1933 shows workers engaged in clearing and cleaning around the perimeter wall of the Ġgantija Temples in Xagħra. The excavation reveals the foundations and outlines of the ancient megalithic structure, dating back to 3600 BC. The workers stand along the edges, providing scale to the cleared area, which offers a clearer view of the temple's layout and construction techniques. These efforts highlight the dedication to preserving one of the world's oldest free-standing stone monuments.
