Experts' Choice Award St Paul's Catacombs
What the experts agree on
These 3rd-century Roman catacombs beneath Rabat are honeycomb networks of burial chambers carved into stone, remarkably well-preserved with visible carved troughs but minus the macabre remains—a tangible window into early Christian burial practices.
“The catacombs of Rabat were dug by the Romans in order to bury their dead in accordance with their culture.”
