Editorial Welcome to Gozo Summer is nearly over. Just a few weeks left to enjoy your deserved moment of relaxation with your family. School time is around the corner and from kids to youths, bye-bye summer, hello school benches. There is still a lot going on in Gozo in September. Delicata are organising their annual wine festival in Nadur this week. Xaghra are celebrating ‘Il-Vitorja’ as Wednesday is a public holiday. And there are a number of other events going on as we will soon recollect our summer memories as autumn approaches. In this issue we have published an article about Gozo’s megalithic link – the Ggantija Temples situated in Xaghra. It is quite amazing to know

that these temples in little Gozo are one of the oldest, if not the oldest free standing stone structure in the world. Even older than Stonehenge. Case in point that we should have more appreciation and pride in our own heritage and tourist attractions. Arkadia will be OPEN ALL DAY on Wednesday, 8 September. New arrivals are pouring in with new additions to check out at Piazza Italia, Peacocks, and Orsay. Make sure you get your hands on a FREE BBQ2GO pack from our foodstore. The summer is nearly over and our foodstore offer will be ending with it. Have a sizzling time in Gozo.

Gozo’s link back to the megalithic ages

Courtesy of

Heritage Malta

The Ġgantija Temples consist of two megalithic temples surrounded by a massive common boundary wall and dating to between 3600 BC and 3200 BC. One of the most striking features of the entire complex, the boundary wall, is built using the header and stretcher technique, with the megaliths alternating face out and edge out to provide structural stability. The name of the complex is derived from the Maltese word “ġgant” meaning giant.

The Ġgantija Temples in Xagħra, Gozo, are one of the most important archaeological sites in the Maltese Islands. Their listing on the UNESCO World Heritage List makes them a site of universal significance.

8 - your Gozo guide

The megalithic site of Ġgantija must always have raised some curiosity in the local population, and even before it was first excavated by Colonel John Otto Bayer in 1827, the gigantic ruins were for a long time associated with a mysterious race of giants, eventually giving rise to the name of the site, “ġgant” being Maltese for giant. From as early as the 16th century down to the present day, Ġgantija has always attracted visitors to the island, and thanks to notable artists and distinguished visitors, we are in possession of priceless drawings and paintings of the site even before its excavation in the early 19th century. One of the most striking features of the entire complex is the enormity of the megaliths in which it is constructed, and the considerably good state of preservation, notwithstanding the age of the monument. This is perhaps most significant in the boundary wall which encloses the two temples, and which is built in rough coralline limestone blocks standing at right angles so as to provide enough support for the smaller courses of

stone in the upper levels. Some of the megaliths exceed five metres in length and weigh over fifty tons. The hard-wearing locally-quarried coralline limestone is used extensively at Ġgantija, and is one of the reasons behind the preservation of the monument. The softer Globigerina limestone is reserved for inner furnishings such as doorways, altars, and decorative slabs. Each temple consists of a number of apses flanking a central corridor. This architectural style is reflected in all the megalithic temples of Malta, with the number of apses varying according to the period in which the temple was constructed. The inwardly inclined walls suggest that the temples were roofed over, possibly making use of timber beams, reeds and clay for waterproofing. There is evidence for the internal walls to have been plastered and painted over, as proven by two plaster fragments with red ochre originating from Ġgantija and preserved at the Gozo Museum of Archaeology.

Excavations have brought to light the remains of animal bone, thus suggesting some sort of ritual involving animal sacrifice. The use of fire is evidenced by the presence of stone hearths. A number of

libation holes in the floor may have been used for the pouring of liquid offerings. The innermost sections of the temples were possibly screened off from the outer parts. It is probable that during ceremonial activities, the congregation would have assembled outside the temple complex, since the large forecourt in front of the two temples was purposely raised by the same temple builders, and is a common feature in Maltese temple architecture. Of particular interest are a small number of prehistoric objects found at Ġgantija, and today preserved at the Gozo Museum of Archaeology. These include two stone heads, in typical artistic style of the Temple Period, a large stone block with a snake relief, and a phallic symbol. Ġgantija was in use for about a thousand years, after which time it was abandoned and later used as a cremation site by Bronze Age inhabitants. your Gozo guide - 9

Gozo Beaches

Wied il-Ghasri Wied il-Ghasri has its source at Dbiegi Hill. It winds its way through Ghasri between Zebbug and Giordan Hill and flows into the sea between very high impressive cliffs. Wied il-Ghasri is very popular with divers who like to explore the surrounding underwater caves. The very narrow bay is a haven for those who seek a quiet bathing area. A very interesting spot in this place is a cave close to the shore in which a shaft was hewn up to the top of the steep cliffs. A mill made up of several pails used to be rigged up in order to bring up the sea water to fill the neighbouring saltpans. How to get there: Drive to Marsalforn and go to Qbajjar. Then drive through the coast road overlooking the salt pans. At the end of the road walk straight ahead and you will find some stone steps that will lead you down to the beach.
