Ġgantija Temples' sculpted altar design

A close-up of the intricately sculpted altar located in the first pair of apses to the right in the South Temple of Ġgantija Temples, captured in 1923. This finely carved design showcases the artistic craftsmanship of the Neolithic builders, providing insights into their spiritual and ceremonial practices. The altar, set amidst rugged megalithic surroundings, remains a testament to the ingenuity of the ancient Maltese civilisation.
