✝️ Come to an intimate 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. They spend their lives within the building, never leaving and remaining there even after death.
🚪This guided tour is part of the Behind Closed Doors series by Dark Malta Tours, taking you behind the scenes in fascinating places.
⚰️ It will show you where the nuns live and lead you into the candlelit crypt, where you’ll be told of the rituals surrounding their deathbed. You'll also see the skeleton of a nun currently on the path to becoming a saint.
🌳 See the monastery's secret garden, hidden in the heart of Valletta, and discover how this remarkable place was built because of a promise made over a sick child.
😮 You’ll also hear why a statue in a chapel has a beheaded man at its feet.
🎟 Tickets are €20 each - book now via https://is.gd/wHFgmK to reserve your place
📍 Meeting point is outside Is-Suq tal-Belt Valletta Food Market.
