With its intricate stone-carving monuments, neo-Gothic chapel soaring from what was once a prehistoric burial ground; the Addolorata Cemetery is one of the wonders of Maltese architectural heritage.

The Comino tour - A world unto itself

Beyond the Blue Lagoon lies an island with a rich and vibrant history. No, it's not Gozo, it's Comino. Despite its countless stories, few know about the people who used to live there or the history of the island.

For example, did you know that in the Hermit's Cave, an exiled Jewish mystic wrote cabbalist texts? Join us for this special experience with expert guide Vince Zammit, as we visit the fortifications, tower, church and other sites known to few.

The tour will be on Sunday, 30 April at 9.30am. The meeting place will be the Comino ferry, Cirkewwa.
