Misraħ Għar il-Kbir, also known as the 'Great Cave,' is a massive limestone sinkhole located near Dingli, Malta. This natural landmark features steep cliffs that drop into a deep depression, offering dramatic views of the surrounding countryside. The site is particularly notable for the mysterious prehistoric cart ruts, parallel grooves carved into the limestone, whose origin and purpose remain debated. Visitors can walk along the rim, peer into the sinkhole, and examine the ancient tracks that crisscross the rocky plateau.
