描述
Take a guided tour of St Catherine's cloistered monastery in Valletta and hear how its order of nuns bury their dead, the truth about their "control rooms", and why the nuns had to learn carpentry.
Visit a cloistered monastery once closed off to the world for 400 years – until now.
The nuns living in St Catherine's monastery in Valletta never come out of the building, living within its walls for the rest of their lives before finally being buried in the crypt.
This guided tour takes you around the monastery, which has a museum section on the ground floor called the Mysterium Fidei.
You will learn about life in a cloistered monastery, the truth behind its “control rooms” and see the candlelit crypt where you’ll learn how the nuns are laid to rest, a process which still takes place today.
You’ll also discover why there is a statue with a beheaded man in a chapel, hear how convent life was self-sufficient, and learn why one of the former nuns is on the path to becoming a saint.
This is an unforgettable and rare opportunity to visit a cloistered monastery right in the heart of Valletta.
