Rabat, Administrative center in western-central Malta
The town of Rabat extends across the western-central region of Malta, positioned next to the former capital city of Mdina at 35.88°N latitude.
Roman artifacts reveal that Rabat encompassed parts of ancient Melita, with significant modifications occurring during the Arab occupation between 870 and 1090.
The Catacombs of St Paul and St Agatha contain over 500 burial locations from different religions, featuring early Christian symbols and carved stone tables.
The National Archives of Malta operates within Santo Spirito, a building that functioned as a hospital for more than 600 years in Rabat.
The Verdala Palace, constructed in 1586, remains a presidential residence, rising above Rabat as a testament to the Knights of Malta period.
