Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum
The Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum is an underground, rock-cut burial complex dating back to around 4000–2500 BC. Visits are tightly controlled to protect the site, so groups are very small and entry is limited. The experience combines an audiovisual introduction with a guided walk through narrow chambers and decorated spaces.
