The Mnajdra temple complex is located in Qrendi, Malta about 500m away from another Megalithic Temple called ?a?ar Qim. It consists of three temple structures – the oldest and first structure dates back to 3600 – 3200 BCE; the South Temple was built sometime between 3150 – 2500 BCE; and the Central Temple was built last and placed in between the first and South Temple.
There are more remains to the south and north-east of these three temples, which suggests that at one point the complex was much larger than it is today. Although Mnajdra has been well-preserved since it was first excavated in 1840, in 2001 vandals toppled and broke 60 megaliths and graffittied them. Fortunately, the damage was able to be repaired in an unnoticeable way and temples were reopened to the public in 2002.
