Santa Verna Temple

Santa Verna Temple, nestled in Xagħra on Gozo, Malta, is a fascinating megalithic site steeped in history. Once a vibrant village and a significant temple, it now stands in a dilapidated state, hinting at its past grandeur as one of the major temples of the Maltese islands. A visit here offers a unique glimpse into ancient Maltese culture. What makes Santa Verna particularly memorable is its connection to a chapel dedicated to Saint Venera, which once stood nearby, adding a layer of intrigue to this archaeological treasure.
