- Entry into the Mysterium Fidei Museum inside St Catherine’s cloistered monastery
Come to an intimate and unforgettable experience within a cloistered monastery once closed to the world for 400 years - until now.
St Catherine’s Monastery in the heart of Valletta has been home to Augustinian nuns since the 17th Century, who spend their lives within the building, never leaving and remaining there even after death, being buried in the monastery’s crypt.
This very special guided event, held after hours, will show you where the nuns live, reveal the truth behind the monastery’s “control rooms”, and lead you into the candlelit crypt where you’ll be told of the rituals surrounding its death bed.
You’ll also learn of the many curiosities found within this ancient building and hear the many ways in which convent life was organised to be self-sufficient over the centuries.
Come for an unforgettable and rare experience in a cloistered monastery, complete with its secret garden, right in the heart of Valletta.
