At the heart of Rabat, we visit the sacred St. Paul’s Grotto, the venerable cave where tradition holds that the Apostle Paul sought refuge and preached after his shipwreck in 60 AD. It is a site of immense spiritual significance, serving as the foundational site of Christianity in Malta. This site was visited by three Popes.

Descend into the depths of the Wignacourt Museum to explore an extensive network of WWII air-raid shelters. These hand-cut limestone tunnels offer a poignant look at the resilience of the Maltese people, providing the chilling atmosphere of life underground during the height of the Mediterranean's most intense aerial bombardments.

Within the same complex, we venture into the Catacombs, a subterranean labyrinth of rock-cut tombs used for burials during the Roman and Byzantine periods. These passages provide a fascinating insight into early Christian burial traditions and the complex funerary customs of Malta’s ancient inhabitants.
