Ta' Ħaġrat Temples are ancient megalithic ruins located in the village of Mġarr, Malta, dating to the 4th millennium BC. They are part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for Maltese megalithic temples. The site comprises two adjacent temples, the larger of which features a distinctive three-apse layout, a rare design among Maltese temples. Built from local coralline limestone, the temples showcase sophisticated construction techniques for their time. Visitors can see the massive upright stones, a trilithon entrance, and the remains of a paved courtyard. The smaller temple, added later, has a trefoil plan. The site is less crowded than other temples, offering a peaceful glimpse into prehistoric Malta.
