The Gozo village of the giants' temples, a windmill and a stone circle.
1 museumOn a plateau in the middle of Gozo, Xagħra has the Ġgantija temples, one of the oldest buildings on earth.
Xagħra's square is one of the prettiest on Gozo, with its baroque church and cafés under the trees. A short walk away, the Ġgantija temples stand on the edge of the plateau, built around 3600 BC with stones taller than a person. Near the square, the Xagħra Stone Circle was an underground burial place where archaeologists found small stone figures of the temple people. The Ta' Kola windmill, built in the knights' time, shows how the miller lived. In September, Xagħra celebrates its festa of Our Lady of Victories with fireworks over the plateau.
