Traveler reviews
Elliot
★★★★★3 months agoWe stumbled across this gem whilst walking through Valletta. Would definitely recommend visiting this interesting place. It gives you a real feel for the day-to-day lives of the cloistered nuns of the St Catherine’s Monastery. At one point there were 100 nuns living there, now there is only 3.
Ciara Dennehy
★★★★★3 weeks agoWow!! This is a must see attraction for all ages. Walking in we were greeted by extremely friendly staff who gave us an overall run down of the convent. The building has been so well preserved over the years and the historical walk through is a highlight of my time in Valletta. The manager Margaret is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about not just the attraction, but Malta as well. 1000% recommend to anyone visiting Valletta
