Tas-Silg

Ancient Temple

sals Jan 30, 2009

A short distance north east of the pretty fishing village of Marsaxlokk is Tas-Silg temple. I knew it wasn’t officially open to the public, but decided to go and take a look anyway. The site has a reasonably tall wall round it, and the gates are chunks of solid metal. Nothing to see here, without an appointment!
