Lost Sites of Kordin Tours – Kordin III Megalithic Site
18 October 2025 – 9AM – 12PM – Kordin III, Triq Kordin, Rahal Gdid, PLA1970 ,Triq Kordin,Paola,Malta
Heritage Malta invites you to a unique curatorial tour of the Kordin III megalithic site in Paola — an opportunity to discover one of Malta’s prehistoric landmarks. A total of four tours, alternating in Maltese and English, will take place every hour between 9.00am and 12.00pm.
Although the event takes place at Kordin III, the tour will also shed light on the lost sites of Kordin I and Kordin II. While these sites no longer survive, their stories live on through archaeological records, historic excavations, and the wider ancient landscape they once formed part of.
Join our curators as they guide you through the setting that once connected all three Kordin sites and explore their relationship with other key prehistoric places such as the Tarxien Prehistoric Complex, the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, and the Santa Luċija Hypogeum.
This tour offers a rare and insightful glimpse into Malta’s prehistory.
Tickets can be booked online through Heritage Malta’s online store or physically at any Heritage Malta museum or site.

Ta’ Mintna Special Opening/Tours (Fully Booked)
19 October 2025 – 10AM – 12PM – Ta’ Mintna Catacombs, Mqabba, Malta
On Sunday 19th October 2025, Heritage Malta is inviting you to experience the historical gem of Ta’ Mintna Catacombs in Mqabba – a site not normally open to visitors, in an in-depth curatorial tour.
The catacombs were first documented by the esteemed Antonio Annetto Caruana. The three hypogea were originally separate burial complexes that were only joined together in modern history to be used as a well.
The catacombs in this complex exhibit very unique features in their structure. The central hypogeum is best known for its extremely well-preserved triclinium, a rock-cut table used for commemorative meals, and the two rows of triangular lamp holes facing it. The two flanking hypogea, on the other hand, are best known for the exquisite decoration with which some of their window tombs are adorned.
Two exclusive curatorial tours – one at 9:00am in Maltese and another at 12.00pm in English, will take place. The tours cost €15 per person – with a limited capacity of 10 participants each, to ensure a pleasurable experience. Tickets can be purchased at any Heritage Malta museum or site, or online here.
On the day, Ta’ Mintna Catacombs will also be opening to the general public from 10:00am to 12:00pm. Tickets, at €2 for adults and free of charge for children (up to 11 years old) and Heritage Malta members, will be available at the door. Please note that the last allowed entry will be at 11:45am.
In the event of rain, the opening will be cancelled. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes during your visit. No high heels will be allowed.
