Skorba Temples
The Skorba Temples are megalithic ruins located in northern Malta. These structures date back to the early Neolithic period and provide evidence of the island's earliest temple-stage temple building. The site is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is visited by those interested in prehistoric architecture and archaeology.
Getting There
The site is located in a rural area near Mosta. From the center of Mosta, you can reach the temples via a short taxi ride or by local bus, typically taking about 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic and the specific drop-off point.
Visit Duration
Most visitors spend approximately 45 to 90 minutes exploring the ruins and the surrounding grounds.
