about Hagar Qim
Hagar Qim is one of Malta’s UNESCO-listed megalithic temples. Dating back to between 3600BC and 3200BC, Hagar Qim is a single temple which stands dramatically on a cliff-edge, although it may once have been a larger complex. There are also some other prehistoric structures nearby.
It’s worth noting that Hagar Qim is not far from the Mnajdra site and the two are usually seen together.
Just as empires rise and fall so do entry fees and opening hours! While we work as hard as we can to ensure the information provided here about Hagar Qim is as accurate as possible, the changing nature of certain elements mean we can't absolutely guarantee that these details won't become a thing of the past. If you know of any information on this page that needs updating you can add a comment above or now.
