Ggantija. Interior, post-and-lintel niches.
The walls of Ggantija (upper part of photo) are made of rough
coralline limestone, in contrast to the interior architectural
elements (lower part of photo) which are made of Globigerina
limestone. The soft Globigerina limestone is more easily worked
and smoothed. This makes it suitable for interior finishing,
such as the trilithic niches shown here.
Gozo, Malta. 1998.
