Santa Verna
Santa Verna is a megalithic site in Xagħra on the island of Gozo, Malta. The site was originally occupied by a village and a megalithic temple. Although the temple is in poor condition now, in ancient times it was probably one of the major temples in the Maltese islands. The site takes its name from a chapel dedicated to Saint Venera that once stood close to the temple.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.xaghraparish.org/history-of-xaghra/santa-verna/ )〕
==Site==
Santa Verna was originally a prehistoric village, and the earliest pottery remains date back to around 5000 BC, during the Għar Dalam phase.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.infinito.it/utenti/m/malta_mega_temples/verna/verna.html )〕 The temple itself was built in the following centuries and it had a trefoil shape, which was typical of the time. In its heyday, Santa Verna was probably an important temple, which rivaled other major temples such as Ġgantija, Tarxien and Ħaġar Qim.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=10379 )〕
The only remains of the temple that survive today are three upright megaliths, another three horizontal blocks lining their eastern side, and the earth floor which makes it possible to see the temple's original outline.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.maltesering.com/archaeology_verna.asp )〕
