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.

When to Visit

To avoid the midday heat, it is advisable to visit during the early morning or late afternoon. The site is located in a quiet, out-of-the-way area and generally does not experience the same level of crowding as the more central tourist attractions in Malta.
