Għar il-Kbir (English: Literally: "The big cave") is a complex of rock-cut structures in Siggiewi, Malta.[1] The structures, which where most likely originally small limestone caves, are primarily known for several cart ruts which are located next to it.[2] It is also commonly believed that several families of troglodytes inhabited the cave until 1835.[3] The general structure of the cave system has eight caves spread across two levels.[4]
