With this ticket to the Mysterium Fidei Museum, you will explore the underground complex beneath St Catherine's Monastery. Experience the life of the nuns who chose isolation from the outside world for centuries.
Visit the Mysterium Fidei Museum
St Catherine's Monastery, established in 1575 in La Valeta, has a rich history spanning over 4 centuries, characterized by the commitment of the nuns of the cloister. Once they entered, these nuns decided to never leave, dedicating their lives to a life of solitude, service, and prayer.
Your journey through the Mysterium Fidei Museum will provide an immersive experience, taking you through the daily lives of the nuns and uncovering the secrets of this remarkable site. You will explore the rooms, old kitchens, bathrooms, and even the resting place of the nuns, each area rich with stories of their dedication and compassion.
Additionally, your ticket includes an audio guide in English that will narrate the history and significance of every space within the museum, chronicling the journey from the Knights of the Order of Malta to the present day amid a backdrop of faith and mystery.
The Secret Garden of St Catherine's Monastery
The entrance to the secret garden of St Catherine's Monastery has been closed to the public for over 400 years. It is now accessible for you to explore this serene space where time appears to have stood still.
