Going back thousands of years beyond recorded history, one finds the arrival of civilisations that inhabited and eventually settled on the islands. In these early ages what are known today as the globally recognised UNESCO world heritage sites Megalithic Temples were built.
Along the years, the Maltese Islands had many invasions from different conquerors providing Malta with the rich and unique history we have today. The mixture of these different cultures and traditions shaped up what we now know as the Maltese Islands and Maltese Language.
