Overview

Experience Hidden Valletta with a visit to two unique museums located off the beaten track in the bustling city of Valletta. First, visit Mysterium Fidei with its secret garden within the walls of a 450-year-old monastery. The cloister was closed to the public for over 450 years, but is now open for you to discover. Escape the hustle and bustle of Valletta’s vibrant city and enjoy the peace within the cloisters. Just a two-minute stroll away, visit The Black Friars Experience. The museum and private chapels are located within the priory of the Dominican order. The Dominicans have worked within the Valletta community for centuries. Learn about the part they played in the building of the Valletta we see today. Visit the beautiful Basilica of St Dominic, adorned with works of art and priceless artefacts.
An audio Tour is available at Mysterium Fidei. Written Information and video are available at Black Friars

    Mysterium Fidei By Hidden Valletta

    Mysterium Fidei is a multi sensory experience located within St Catherine’s Monastery, in the heart of Valletta. The door to the Secret Garden has been closed to the public for over 400 years, it is now open for you to enter this tranquil space and take a glimpse into the lives of the cloistered nuns. When joining the monastery, the nuns took vows never to leave. They lived a self-sustainable life closed away from the outside world. You can see the original, authentic kitchens, bedrooms, washrooms and even visit the crypt, their final resting place. The enclosed garden is a rarity in Valletta, here you can escape the hustle and bustle of the busy Valletta streets and experience the peace and serenity of this hidden oasis. Mysterium Fidei is a unique, must see, experience. It gives visitors the opportunity to learn the history, appreciate the architecture, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and contemplate the lives of the women who chose the life of the cloistered nun.
