A site in Kercem where prehistoric tombs were found last year, has been opened to the public.
The rock-cut tombs, one of which still contained skeletons, were found during excavation works close to the parish church.
Pottery recovered from the site placed the origins of tombs in the Tarxien phase of Maltese prehistory, dated to about 3000-2500 BC.
Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono said this discovery would add to Gozo's prehistoric heritage and would join other important remains including Ggantija and Brockdorff Circle.
The tombs were scientifically excavated by the Superintendence of National Heritage.
The superintendence is planning to carbon date the remains and conduct DNA studies on the skeletons.
A permanent museum will be built on the site of the tombs.
