Ġgantija, located in Xagħra on the island of Gozo in Malta, is one of the world's oldest freestanding structures. These megalithic temples date back to around 3600-2500 BCE, making them older than both Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The site consists of two temples surrounded by a massive common boundary wall and is renowned for its impressive construction using enormous limestone blocks.
