✝️ 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 inside the monastery’s walls.
⚰️ This guided event will show you where the nuns live and lead you into the candlelit crypt where you’ll be told of the rituals surrounding the nuns' death bed. You'll also meet the dead nun who is on the path to becoming a saint.
⛪️ You’ll learn of the many curiosities found within this ancient building, such as why a Catholic statue has a beheaded man at its feet. You'll also discover how the monastery was built because of the plague.
