Rabat is home to the famous Catacombs of St. Paul
and of St. Agatha. These catacombs were used in
Roman times to bury the dead as, according to
Roman culture, it was unhygienic to bury the dead
in the city Mdina and parts of Rabat were built
on top of an ancient Roman city. The Maltese
Catacombs were never meant to be hiding places
during persecutions or as living quarters. St.
Paul's Catacombs was where, according to
tradition and as recorded in the Bible, St. Paul
stayed for three months when he was shipwrecked
on the island in 60 A.D.

Traditional Maltese food is clearly marked with
Mediterranean references. Italy, especially
Sicily (called the elder sister), has left
significant traces on Maltese food. Pasta dishes
like 'ravjul' (ravioli), lasagna, 'imqarrun'
(baked macaroni), with their hundreds of sauces,
are all dishes of Italian influence. Since Malta
is so close to Italy, pasta has always been one
of the staple foods of the country
