Thought i would post a few photos from Malta Catacombes a bit of info first:
These are 3rd-century AD subterranean tombs and the earliest archaeological evidence of Christianity in Malta.
There was room for over 1000 bodies.
The main crypt, has a high ceiling and at either end a raised plinth with circular table and a semicircular bench, a feature unique to Malta. Both table and bench are hewn out of the rock in one piece, forming a single architectural unit within an recess. These were used for commemorative meals during the annual festival of the dead, an ancient Roman custom.
There are "Luculus tombs," small rectangular recesses cut into a wall and used for children.
These are open to the public so doesn't really count as exploration but i thought you might like them.
