History

The Kordin Temples are a group of megalithic temples on Corradino Heights in Paola, Malta, inhabited from pre-history through the Phoenician, Greek, and Roman periods. In the 17th century, the site belonged to Giovanni Francesco Abela, who later left his villa and surrounding lands to the Jesuits. Following the Jesuits' expulsion in the 18th century, the site was excavated by Gio Antonio Barbaro under Grand Master Manuel Pinto da Fonseca. Later, Sir Themistocles Zammit conducted extensive excavations during the British period.
