Saint Paul's Catacombs in Rabat, Malta

---

St. Paul’s Catacombs are some of the most prominent features of Malta’s paleochristian archaeology. The archaeological clearing of the site has revealed an extensive system of underground galleries and tombs dated from the fourth to the ninth centuries AD. The site was first fully investigated in 1894 by Dr. Antonio Annetto Caruana. It is now managed by Heritage Malta. Two catacombs are open to the public, but these are only a small part of the entire St. Paul's and St. Agatha’s complex.
