Middle Temple (plan)

The corner enclosures, on either side of this passageway, display an elegant simplicity of construction. Notice, for example, the well-judged angle join between the horizontal and vertical stones at the upper left of the photo. A suspicious mind would guess that the stone has been sawed in modern times, since this kind of oblique joining angle is very rare in the Maltese temples. Visible through the passageway is the apse wall shown in the previous photograph.
