La historia de Rabat

Rabat grew outside Mdina's walls, where the Romans kept their villas and cemeteries. Under the town lie long catacombs: St Paul's and St Agatha's, where early Christians buried their dead and shared funeral meals at round tables cut into the rock. The Domvs Romana keeps mosaic floors and marble portraits of a wealthy Roman family. Tradition says Saint Paul stayed in a grotto here after his shipwreck. Rabat is also famous for its pastizzi shops and its Sunday market; in late June the Mnarja festival takes place in nearby Buskett woods.

Tables for the dead

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

Leer la historiaCerrar

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.
