"St. Paul’s Catacombs, a burial place used during the Punic, Roman, and Byzantine centuries, is the oldest and greatest piece of archaeological evidence of Christianity on the island of Malta. The legend that these catacombs were formerly linked to St. Paul’s Grotto is what gives them their saintly connotations. Despite the fact that this is still a myth, new evidence suggests that the two were formerly part of a sizable cemetery near the site of ancient Melite. It has been established that the hypogea were uncovered in a cemetery that has been in use continuously from at least the third or fourth century BC.
Catacombs are a classic example of a network of underground Roman graves that were in use until at least the eighth century AD. They may be found in the Tad-Dlam neighborhood, which is also known as al Bajjada. There are about 30 hypogea in the region, the largest of which is a network of corridors and tombs covering more than 2,000 square meters and located within the St. Paul’s cluster."
