The Ggantija Temples complex in Gozo is one of the best preserved on the Maltese islands. The site dates to 3,600-3,200 B.C. and is one of the oldest free-standing monuments in the world. Ggantija was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1980.

This coin is the first of a series of seven that will be issued by the Bank which will depict Malta’s prehistoric monuments that are listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
