This prestigious site on which are located the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra prehistoric megalithic temples, included on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1992, is the object of long term conservation measures, a top priority for the Maltese Government's agenda. This open and anonymous competition has been approved by the International Union of Architects (UIA). The site, of an overall surface area of some forty hectares, is located on the cliffs in the south-east of Malta. Design proposals will include: • A visitors’ centre and visitors’ orientation point (tourists, students and researchers); • Planning the environs and accessibility to the edifices and highlighting the landscape of the site as a whole; • Conservation and protection of the temples as well as temporary covering.
