Attractions

You go down into wartime shelters cut into the rock beneath Birgu, which held hundreds of people through the raids.

One of the largest domes in Europe stands in an ordinary town centre. It is free to walk into.

A fortified citadel stands on the hill above Victoria. From the walls you can see most of Gozo.

A late Roman cemetery runs under the streets of Rabat. You walk the tunnels yourself rather than on a tour.

A Roman townhouse with its mosaics still where they were laid. It stands next to the catacombs in Rabat.

This is one of the few inquisitors' palaces left in Europe. It stands in the middle of Birgu.

The outside is plain and the inside is overwhelming. It holds the largest painting Caravaggio ever made.
