European Archaeology Days – Torchlight Tour

Marking the celebration of European Archaeology Days, an evening expedition featuring torchlight illumination will occur at the Ħal Tarxien Prehistoric Complex on June 12th, 2026. Running concurrently from 8:30pm to 10:00pm, guided experiences will be offered in both Maltese (Limited Spots Available) and English (All Spots Filled), guiding participants through millennia of human development spanning over five thousand years. The massive stone monuments at Ħal Tarxien remained hidden underground for countless centuries until their discovery in 1915. Since its excavation, the site has emerged as one of the Mediterranean's most remarkable archaeological discoveries, finally breaking through the age-old silence that had surrounded it. This tour grants visitors exclusive access to explore the ruins in the evening hours alongside expert site professionals, away from daytime crowds and activity.
