The story
Beneath the limestone streets of Rabat, St. Paul’s Catacombs offers a quiet, scenic journey into Malta’s early Christian past. This museum site, rated 4.3 stars, is a historic underground network of tombs and chambers, marked as both a historic building and a tranquil, scenic spot. It’s a place that invites reflection away from the island’s busier corners.
Chef Bruno Barbieri, during his Maltese travels, noted the catacombs as a natural next stop after a street food tour. “Viaggio a Malta” frames the visit as a seamless transition from Rabat’s lively food scene into its ancient history. For travelers looking to balance hearty local flavors with a dose of solemn beauty, this site serves as an ideal, contemplative palate cleanser.
