L’Ghar Tramuntana
L’Ghar Tramuntana submitted by enkidu41 : The eastern entrance to the cave. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This cave in Gozo lies to the north-east of the Ggantija Temples. It is vaguely kidney-shaped and of rough workmanship. It was originally a rock-cut tomb but probably came to be used as the temples’ rubbish tip as it yielded considerable quantities of material when excavated.
