The Megalithic Temples of Malta are a series of prehistoric monuments in Malta of which seven are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Archaeologists believe that these megalithic complexes are the result of local innovations in a process of cultural evolution.

This leads to the building of several temples of the Ġgantija phase (3600-3000 BCE), culminating in the large Tarxien temple complex, which remains in use until 2500 BCE.

After this date, the temple building culture disappears.
