Take advantage of this great adventure to explore two places that are important worldwide, in this tour to the Hypogeum and the Tarxien Temples. 

We will make sure that you fully discover the main attractions of each of these archeological jewels: 

The Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni 

Discovered by accident in 1902, the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni is a priceless piece of architecture worldwide. 

Many researchers believe that it was an ancient sanctuary for worship and rituals, which later became a necropolis or cemetery. 

It is a 3-level structure consisting of different rooms, passages and caves, in which a variety of sculptures were found that today rest in the museum of Valletta.  Upon entering, you will observe different chambers, corridors and rooms with an antiquity that ranges between 4000 and 2500 BC. 

In the second level, the works that were made in the stone are more elaborate and surprising. Within this level are the Oracle Room and the Well of the Serpent, among other rooms that were used for different activities.  

Moreover, historians estimate that thousands of people were buried in the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni, as thousands of human skeletal remains were found at the site during the first excavations. 

It is a very exclusive visit, since only 10 people per hour are allowed to enter the enclosure, and we will take you comfortably to these places. 

Tarxien 

This is another of the great works discovered by archeologists in Malta. Tarxien is a complex of 4 temples, of which the first one dates from the Ggantija period, so it is observed with some damage to its structure. 

The other temples that make up Tarxien belong to the year 3000 and 2500 B.C. Therefore, they are better preserved. 

In addition, the 4 structures are connected to each other in a very unique and almost imperceptible way. 

Inside the temples there is a cemetery that was used for cremation, as well as a central building with double apses. In addition, on its walls there are some bas-reliefs and friezes with animal drawings. 

We know that this will be an unforgettable tour, as you will be able to appreciate up close some real fortresses built by mankind more than 5000 years ago. 

Take advantage of your stay in Malta and plan a 4-hour walking tour of Mdina and Rabat to get to know two of the most attractive cities of the archipelago.
