Malta's catacombs are an extensive network of underground burial chambers [1]. Found principally in Mdina, the island's former capital, these necropolises number in the hundreds and remain remarkably well-preserved [1]. St. Paul's Catacombs in Rabat represent a typical complex of interconnected, underground Roman cemeteries [2][3].
