Explore the complex of interconnected underground Roman cemeteries, in use up to the 4th century CE, at St Paul's Catacombs. The earliest archaeological evidence of Christianity in Malta, the catacombs display various tomb types, like the baldacchino tombs, which are free-standing, canopied burials with grand arches and pillars. Other decorations within the catacombs include illustrations and written messages. Be advised that the catacombs are very dark, with steep stairs and uneven flooring. They may be difficult to manage for those with mobility issues or claustrophobia. Put St Paul's Catacombs at the forefront of your travel plans using our Rabat itinerary website.

Such places are interesting, even if today they are but shells of what they once were. This site has a small museum you can visit before descending to the catacombs. They are well lit. All the time...

Very interesting and extensive collection of catacombs. There are a lot of them and we found it to get repetitive as there is not really anything specific about each one. The experience would probably be better in the format of guided tour, but we still enjoyed looking around and the price is very reasonable.

Well, it’s burial sights, a lot of them. There I are similarities, so it might get boring to look into all of them, if you are not having particular interest. But it’s very civilized, some are really small labyrinths, even using predefined tourists ways. But in overall the place is taken really good care of.

What an eye-opening experience. Such rich history and artifacts. Make sure you have enough time to explore the many catacombs. Some are very tight fits with small entrances, but worth the effort.

Only €6 and easily walked from Mdina/Rabat. Can spend a few hours here but once you've seen a few catacombs, you've seen them all. About 50 tombs here and half are accessible, the rest are closed. Recommend seeing #1 and #8.

A must visit site! The history is amazing and the newly constructed museum.around is is very interesting. The 2d movie introduction (about 20min) was very informative. The spaces can get quite cramped so if you're claustrophobic not every catacomd is right for you.
