As part of this year’s European Archaeology Days, Torchlight Tours will take place at the Ħal Tarxien Prehistoric Complex on the 12th of June 2026.
The tours will be delivered in Maltese and English, simultaneously from 8.30pm till 10.00pm, taking you across a human story more than 5000 years in the making. For millennia, the megalithic structures at Ħal Tarxien lay in silence, waiting beneath the soil, until their rediscovery in 1915.
Since then, the complex has remained one of the most astounding archaeological sites to have been discovered in the Mediterranean, inevitably breaking the silence which had prevailed since prehistory.
Here is your chance to tour the complex after hours with the site’s curators, away from the hustle and bustle of visitors during the day.
