Bingemma Palaeochristian hypogea (City of the Dead ) Malta

Today I' me going to explore the Bingemma Necropolis, a Palaeochristian hypogea, the city of the dead, in other words an ancient cemetery in Bingemma Rabar Malta very close to the Victoria lines. The origins of the site are shrouded in mystery. Archaeologists can’t reach a consensus on the time period, this can range from the Bronze Age; others claim the caves are a Punico-Roman necropolis; and yet still others insist the caverns are actually the remains of catacombs from a first-century Greek cemetery. One thing that is certain, however, is that this enigmatic place was briefly used as a hiding spot for the locals during the bombings of World War II. #explore #malta #underground Location https://goo.gl/maps/W3iDYTFZnZ8o7HcK6
