Hidden story

Tables for the dead

In Rabat's catacombs, families ate with their dead.

Read the storyClose

Inside the catacombs you find round stone tables with a low bench around them, cut out of the rock. On the anniversary of a death, families came down by lamplight and ate a meal next to the grave, in a Roman custom called the agape. It is one of the few places in Europe where these tables survive.
