Ta' Bistra Catacombs
About
On Malta, Ta' Bistra Catacombs is a local business. The site stands on Triq Francesco Napuljun Tagliaferro in Il-Mosta, in the centre of the island. Valletta, Sliema, St. Julian's, Paceville, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Mdina, Rabat and Mosta all lie within a short drive.
The catacombs form an attraction of underground rock-cut tombs, and the site opens on Tu, Th and Sa from 08:30 to 17:15. Heritage Malta maintains the property through http://heritagemalta.org/. Visitors rate it 3.9 out of 5 from 194 reviews, a score that reflects a steady flow of curious callers.
First-time visitors should expect a rock-cut burial complex rather than a museum building, so the visit is a walk through carved passages. Autumn rain refills the reservoirs, and winter on Malta is mild enough for walking the coastal paths. Gozo is greener and more rural than Malta, while Comino is largely undeveloped apart from the Blue Lagoon.
Village festas honour patron saints with band marches, processions and fireworks, and they fill the calendar through the warmer months. The islands sit on a major bird migration route, and the blue rock thrush is the national bird. From Mosta the rest of Malta is easily reached by road.
