If possible a good time to vist would be sunrise on the first day of the four seasons as the rays enters the southern temple of Mnajdra and lights up its interior - that must be a great sight. On the equinox days, sunlight not only enters the temple but its beam also lights up the temple’s main axis.
The temples are opened specially for these events apparently - check the heritage Malta events site for more details.

The middle temple was the last one to be built, dating to after 3100 BC. It was inserted between the other two, and set at a higher level on a sort of terrace. Unfortunately this is mostly modern reconstruction seen here.

The setting of the Mnajdra Temples is lovely to see by itself - with the rugged cliffs below, the sea and the surrounding countryside. Just offshore the islet of Filfa - just 1km in size. The stone here is of a harder corraline limestone than Hagar Qim and hence this temple is better preserved.

The third, with its largely intact façade and bench constructed in the early Tarxien phase is perhaps the most impressive part of Mnajdra and perhaps the finest surviving on the Maltese Islands.

Mnajdra Temple complex consists of not one but three temples (sharing a common outer wall) overlooking an oval forecourt. Climb up the hill nearby to get a better overall view of the structures.

The first temple is the oldest one - from the Ggantija phase (3600-3100 BC). The small rubble wall is a reconstruction but the small upright stones are the originals.

The setting of this neolithic Temple is quite idyllic lying in a hollow in the cliffs off the southern coast of Malta. Its well worth a short visit and can be combined with other sights nearby

Mnajdra - Ancient temple near the Hagar Qim temple. It's unbelievable but the site, one of the world's oldest man made structures, was vandalized in 1996 (graffiti) and 2001 (toppled &...
