As development threatens Ġgantija, Isabelle Vella Gregory explores the fascinating and complex landscape of Ġgantija and surrounds. The impressive megalithic complex is part of an extraordinary human story that is at risk of being lost.
Once upon a time there was a giantess who lived on Gozo. People would see her carrying large stones on her head. She carried her baby in a sling, a basket of flax and beans in her pocket. They saw her carrying stones while eating beans and sorting flax. (Adapted from Fr Manuel Magri)
