Buġibba Temple

This site is a megalithic temple located on the boundary between Buġibba and Qawra. It is of interest to visitors because of its archaeological significance and its unusual modern context, as a hotel has been constructed on the temple grounds.

Getting There

The site is located in the St Paul's Bay area. From the center of Mosta, you can be reached via local bus or taxi. The journey typically takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Visit Duration

Because the site is relatively small and integrated into a developed area, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the ruins.
