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

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.peer-reviewe
