Sadly little left
to see of this temple complex.
The Hotel
'Dolmen' encompasses the site making it necessary to pass through
the hotel foyer to view it. Do not let this put you off however, as the
staff are obliging.

There's not much left to see, but it is still there and with
free access.
The Great altar stone
(now in Valetta museum) has a double spiral on its face, reminiscent of both
the Irish and Scottish Neolithic spiral art.

Examples of European Spiral-art)
The avenue
(above), was constructed
over the temple ruins, at a time sometime
between the 'temple' period and the 'hotel' period.
