Rabat, Local council in western Malta
The town spreads across 26 square kilometers near Mdina, featuring ancient ruins, catacombs, and religious buildings surrounded by agricultural landscapes.
The settlement transformed from part of Roman Melita to a separate entity when Arabs reduced Mdina's size by relocating its southern fortification wall.
The Santo Spirito hospital building, which served patients for over 600 years, now contains the National Archives of Malta with extensive historical documentation.
The catacombs, museums, and churches located within walking distance of each other make Rabat an excellent destination during inclement weather.
Underground burial sites contain carved crosses and agape tables, rectangular stone surfaces used for ancient Christian funeral ceremonies.
