Ħal Resqun catacombs (1st–5th century AD) at Gudja, Malta, are rare underground necropolises interpreted as Early Christian or Paleochristian hypogea. They stand out for elaborate carved decorations and architectural features uncommon in Maltese catacombs, of exceptional archaeological value [1]. Some historians identify Christian religious markers, while others consider the evidence inconclusive [1]. Notably, certain graffiti depicting biblical scenes are considered unique worldwide, marking these catacombs as one of Malta's most significant Late Antiquity finds [1].
