Kordin III is not open to the public, unlike the well-known neighbouring sites of the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum and Tarxien. We recently organised private access to explore this enigmatic site. Immediately above the Grand Harbour once stood numerous temples.

One has disappeared under an industrial estate whilst only Kordin III survives despite being hit by a bomb in World War II. The temple is in a very ruinous condition with a Ggantija phase 3-apse design. It is the only temple whose forecourt, in front of the concave facade, is stone paved as is the entrance passage leading to the central area.

The most important feature is the 2.75 metre long 'trough' lying across the entrance to the west apse. It has seven deep grooves and made of hard limestone brought from over 2 km away although it is likely to have been used as a libation stone in rituals as it was placed in a specific location at the entrance to the temple. Includes exclusive aerial footage and 3D Lidar Scans.
