A girna (plural giren) is a type of traditional corbelled hut found in rural areas in parts of Malta. They bear similarities with a number of dry stone vernacular building types found in other Mediterranean countries, and they are primarily used for storage or as temporary shelters. It is possible that in the past they were also used for human habitation. The design reflects local architectural adaptations to the environment, emphasizing durability and functionality.
