Malta's mysterious Tarxien Temples were constructed between about 3250 BCE and 3000 BCE. They would have been highly decorated. Some of the decorated stones (bottom two photos) have been replaced with replicas to preserve them. Now in the National Museum of Archaeology.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the entrance to the Tarxien Temples, Malta. The Temples are megalithic structures, dating to 3150 BCE. Astounding site.
The oldest of the Tarxien temples in Paola, Malta. Badly damaged by plowing, it dates to circa 3600-3000 BCE.

May is the month that Maud Pie goes to see the Tarxien Temples complex in Malta!
The Tarxien Temples site is a complex of four megalithic structures built between 3600 and 2500 BC.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
(And made of rock. So appealing to Maud Pie.)
