St Paul’s Catacombs are one of Malta’s most intriguing archaeological sites and are key to understanding both the Roman rituals of burial on the island and the later Christian tradition. The tombs are believed to date all the way back to the 3rd century AD, with regular use until the 4th century AD. They were excavated from 1894 onwards and today you can explore more than 20 of the underground chambers when you visit.
