Slonta is home to the only significant pre-Greek Libyan artefact discovered temple in northern libya, of more historic then aesthetic appeal. The remains of a stone temple cover 5 sq meters.

in this site we will see the weirdest creatures cut into the rock by native Libyan artists. No one knows why they were made, no one knows when, but the column base offers a clue: in an age when column bases were used, which means in the Greek or Roman period.

All the decorations are unique because they were made by the indigenous population. Except for the column that must have been in the center of the room, Greek and Roman elements are completely absent. This is remarkable because Slonta is along the ancient road from Derna and Cyrene to Barca and Berenice (modern Benghazi).
