Santa Verna is a megalithic temple complex in Xagħra, Gozo, Malta, dating to approximately 5000-3400 BC [1]. The site originally consisted of a village and a substantial megalithic temple, now in poor condition but believed to have been one of the major temples in the Maltese islands during the Temple Period [1]. The site derives its name from a chapel dedicated to Saint Venera that once stood nearby [1].
