Heritage Malta is organising a special event tomorrow at Ggantija Temples, Xaghra, specifically aimed at children between 6 and 10 years.

Were you aware that 5000 years ago, during the Neolithic Period, the inhabitants of the islands of Malta and Gozo manufactured jewellery and other ornaments of great beauty?

Back then, they didn't have access to gold, silver or other precious materials however, this didn't deter them from producing ornaments. These were usually made from other materials commonly found in nature, including shells, bones and stones. Apart from making their wearer look better, such jewellery might have had other mysterious roles!

Heritage Malta is inviting children to discover these ornaments and let them inspire their own creation.

The event will be held between 9.30am and midday. Price: €5.00 (for tickets kindly call on 2155 3194).
