On Sunday 26th March, travel back to Roman Malta at Ta’ Bistra Catacombs! Experience life as a Roman legionary or citizen with historical re-enactment group Legio X Fretensis, whilst learning more about herbs, jewellery, and military gear and equipment used at the time. Ta’ Bistra Catacombs will be welcoming the general public every last Sunday of the month. Opening hours are from 10:00-16:00.

Located half way between the ancient town of Melite and the once-important harbour of Salina, Ta’ Bistra Catacombs are, so far, the largest set of tombs and catacombs beyond the confines of the ancient city of the island. They were first recorded in the late 1800s but were only investigated in 1933 by Captain Charles Zammit, before part of the site was covered over by a new road leading down to Burmarrad. Further studies in 2004, 2013, and 2014, have brought the site back to life with new discoveries and hence, new interpretations.
