St Paul's Catacombs, Rabat (Mdina) in Malta (And how I lost my bf)

#Catacombs #Mdina #Malta
St. Paul's Catacombs are some of the most prominent features of Malta’s early Christianity archaeology.
St. Paul's catacombs are part of a large cemetery once located outside the walls of the ancient Roman city of Melite, now covered by the smaller Mdina and Rabat. It also comprises the catacombs of Saint Agatha, San Katald, St. Augustine and many others.

The cemetery probably originated in the Phoenician-Punic period. As in Roman tradition, Phoenician and Punic burials were located outside city walls. The many tombs discovered in areas outside the known line of the Roman city suggest that the city of Melite was close to equal size.

The site is open to the public every day from 9am till 5pm. Visitors can access over 20 of the catacombs in the St Paul's cluster. The main complex, covering an area of more than 2000 square metres, is so far the largest catacomb ever to be found on the island. It is large enough to have served as a communal burial ground in successive phases of Malta's history.
