The city of Rabat has two systems of catacombs open to tourists, 2 minutes walk away from each other. While St.. Paul's catacombs claim to be the largest in Malta, and therefore the most visited, the St. Agatha's catacombs are larger and they come with an added bonus of beautiful full color 16th-17th century frescoes. In order to preserve damage... More

I have been here two or three times now, and always like to encourage friends to go. May be you like history, if so you should do this. I find it inspiring to walk around listen to the head phones with the history and what has been dug up or rather not as of course Catacombs are really and under... More

A great place to visit if you want to get your fix of history and culture whilst holidaying on the beautiful island of Malta. A very informative talk by a friendly and knowledgeable guide accompanies this short but sweet tour of the catacombs.

Whilst the catacombs were interesting and fun to scramble around it would have been nice to see more of the catacombs as they we were told extensive, but what we saw was good. The fresco's were amazing as is the history of the catacombs and the age of them. On the minus prior to the visit to the catacombs we... More

You only get to see a small part of these catacombs so as we had seen the vast St Pauls Catacombs it was a bit of a disapointment. I found the museum a little boring but thats my opinion. Probably best to visit here first and then St Pauls after. The tour guide rushed us slightly and spoke very quickly... More

while st paul's catacombs claim to be the largest in malta, in fact, the st agatha's catacombs are double the size! unfortunately, you will only see a small part as they are trying to preserve the site from human exposure which is destroying the 16th-17th c frescoes. the museum upstairs is a fascinating collection of stuff, and the nicest thing...
