MNAJDRA TEMPLES by sangwann

MNAJDRA TEMPLES

Continuing an hour’s walk, Max and I reached Mnajdra Temples. The area which is protected by a wire fence all round was closed but I had no intention to visit because I had brought Max here around a year ago. Around 500m up this path is the Ħaġar Qim Temples complex . Both Mnajdra and Ħaġar Qim are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The temples have been dated to over 3000 years BC.
Top photo is a merge of two shots. My intention was to show the protective canopy built to protect the site from the elements. A similar cover has been erected over the Ħaġar Qim Temples. The other two photos show the different stages down from Ħaġar Qim to Mnajdra with, of course, Max to prop up the pictures.
Thank you very much for your looks, comments and fav.
Fascinated that they are covered away from the elements. Must be an interesting place to visit, ten times more so when in the company of the intrepid young Max!

Interesting to see that it is covered and so well protected from people and the elements I guess.

I like that they have the cover to protect the site. The weather looks great, but it must be chilly I think when looking at Max...

@pdulis I have been there several times and have taken many pictures over the years. I posted some on 365 months or years ago. Maybe it's about time I go again but not before Covid is under control.
