| Abstract: | Over the past five centuries various parts of the site of Borġ in- Nadur were documented, cleared and excavated. Borġ in-Nadur was originally grouped with other sites and believed to form part of the temple dedicated to Hercules mentioned in ancient sources. Different areas have now been identified within the site, considered to consist mainly of the remains of a Late Neolithic megalithic building and a fortified Bronze Age settlement. Using the available antiquarian and early archaeological literature this paper provides a review of the history of Borġ in-Nadur. |
