Ta’ Bistra Catacombs are temporarily closed. They were part of three EU-funded projects, the Cultexchange Project, the Archaeotur Project, and the Rehabilitation of Roman Baths and Christian Catacombs’ (REBACA) Project. The farmhouse which was located above a section of the catacombs, was turned into a small visitor orientation centre. The catacombs were covered by a modern roof as a protection from weathering. The site has a parking lot, is child friendly and wheelchair accessible. We have no idea why it is not open to the public. Probably Ancient Aliens like in Hal Saflieni.
