This collection spans the architectural and spiritual history of Mdina and Rabat, from the 4th-century underground catacombs of St. Agatha to the Baroque grandeur of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Highlights include the 15th-century Dominican priory in Rabat, the rare elliptical dome of the Carmelite Church, and the secluded Benedictine monastery of St. Peter. These sites preserve medieval frescoes, Roman-era burial complexes, and unique structures like the round Tal-Virtù chapel, reflecting Malta’s religious evolution over centuries.
