My name is Emma Casagrande, I live in Malta, I come from Argentina but my passport says I am Brazilian. I am nine years old. I use to live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, That is the capital city. Then I moved to Dili, East Timor. Timor Leste that is next to Indonesia and close to Australia also. We moved there because my mom found work there. Now I am in Malta. I came to
Malta on June, vacation, 2013. My mom found work in Libya but we are in
Malta because it is very close to Libya. My family members are my mom,
Albertina, my dad, Silvio and my sister Eloisa.
My favourite thing about Malta is: I like the hiking and trekking places
and the mountains are the best place to go. I like this because I like
running down the hills and I like to collect rocks you see I really can’t stop moving even in class! Also the view is beautiful!

In
Malta there is a very interesting thing, the temples! There are so
many temples in Malta. The temples are about thousands of years old
and even more! The temples are big, huge and little rocks put up on each
other.
The temples were found by two men they wanted to keep it a secret but their secret was revealed.

| Hagar Qim |
If you were a tourist I would tell you to go see the amazing buildings like the towers, some of the towers are from the history of the knights of Malta.

One of the towers is called The Red Tower it is near to a harbour that has a ferry that brings you to a island called Gozo. You should also go see Gozo.

The Temples
In
the world there are magnificent free standing temples, but the temples
in Malta are the oldest free standing temples in the world. Every temple
in Malta where found by accident.
Hagar Qim is another temple in Malta.

The Hypogeum
The
Hypogeum is a temple under the ground. It is in Malta and we discovered many new things with it. The Sleeping Lady was found in the hypogeum was found in a pit.

There are also lots of very interesting rooms in the hypogeum like
there was this room where there are stairs that stop and under it is a
deep pit. Scientists think it was to trap
robbers. Then there is a room entering the temple that scientist think
they threw bones in there. The best room in the Hypogeum was the “ Holy
of Holies”.
