Neolithic Malta: What we have, what we lost, and what we could lose! – Daniel Cilia

In this talk, Gozitan photographer Daniel Cilia takes us on a journey through Malta’s Neolithic period. Drawing on decades of experience and a passion for storytelling, Daniel’s photographs have captivated readers in numerous books about the Maltese Islands, their history, culture, and beauty. His keen eye for detail and deep understanding of his subjects make his presentations both informative and visually stunning, showcasing Malta’s rich prehistoric heritage. This presentation will explore all of Malta’s Neolithic sites, those that have been lost, and the current threats to the preservation of those still standing. Through his lens, he invites the audience to rediscover these ancient wonders and reflect on their significance for future generations.

This talk is being held in collaboration with the Malta Historical Society.
