Mosta Local Council: Church and Coat of Arms
Dolmen

DolmenSituated in the periphery of Mosta in the area called Santa Margerita, the two dolmen found there date back to the Bronze Age Period in Malta (2500-700 B.C.).

Each dolmen consists of two large boulders capped by a third lying on top of the other two forming a sort of ‘table’ construction. The dolmen was used for funerary purposes, as an urn with the ashes of the deceased would have been placed in the space formed by the three-stone structure.
