Latnija Caves | S6 EP: 2, part 1 | The Local Traveller with Clare Agius | Malta

Discover one of Malta’s most extraordinary archaeological finds: the Latnija Caves.

In this episode, Clare joins archaeologist Eleonor to uncover evidence that Malta’s earliest inhabitants were not farmers, but skilled hunter-gatherers and seafarers who arrived thousands of years before the first known settlers. Together they explore the caves where ancient remains, tools, and deer bones reveal a forgotten chapter of Mediterranean history.

From how these people lived and travelled, to why this site reshapes what we know about Malta’s origins, join the journey into Latnija, where history and heritage come to life.
