On Thursday, 10 February, in celebration of the feast of St Paul's shipwreck, Heritage Malta will be opening several museums and sites which are not usually accessible to the public on Thursdays due to the currently reduced opening hours brought about by the pandemic situation.

The sites are Fort St Elmo and the National War Museum; National Museum of Archaeology; Muża; Fort St Angelo; Tarxien Temples; St Paul's Catacombs; Ħaġar Qim and Imnajdra; Gozo Citadel sites and  Citadel Visitors' Centre; Ġgantija and Ta' Kola Windmill.

St Paul's Catacombs, named after the celebrated saint himself, will feature roaming re-enactment actors dressed as Roman soldiers and a collection of statues of St Paul traditionally displayed in Maltese homes in celebration of the feast. Since honey was a staple in Roman times, visitors of the catacombs will also have the opportunity to purchase the award-winning honey produced by bees kept at some of Heritage Malta's sites. Exclusive artisan jewellery will also be on sale too.

The sites will be open from 9am to 4.30pm. Normal admission rates apply. Students and seniors are encouraged to make use of their Heritage Malta passports.
