Today, I had the pleasure of visiting the Bir Mula Heritage Museum, and it was a really enjoyable experience. The curator gave me a private and in-depth tour of the house. He had a wealth of historical knowledge and explained all the unique features of the house in great detail. His passion and expertise made the visit very engaging. The tour was quite interactive, as I was often encouraged to guess the meaning or purpose of various aspects of the house. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and highly recommend the Bir Mula Heritage Museum to anyone interested in history, architecture, or cultural heritage. The tour is not only educational but also fun and memorable.

Absolutely recommendable! A short journey through time with a talented and super-informed storyteller. The tour lasted almost 2 hours and was financed by donations. A small diamond behind an ordinary house facade.

A very special museum that is worth visiting. Thank you to the curator for sharing his knowledge and passion for history with us ❤️

This place is off the beaten track and only open Saturday morning. It's unorthodox, but we'll worth the visit and it's completely free. The house is like a time machine, traveling from before Christ to the present day. The man who took us round really is the key to enjoying this place a really nice person and obviously very knowledgeable. I came away with a really warm feeling after my visit, and felt that I had touched time. Loved it.

The best experience for the ones who are passionate about history (and maybe some ghost activity around the town). Enjoyed it so much!!!

Fantastic tour, explaining the colourful history of the building and the surrounding area. Guide was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable.

Wonderful experience - a must visit for all history lovers!!

Free entry but donations are accepted. They have odd hours fyi. I forgot to take a photo of their schedule. Saint Pauls arm is here, along with the stump. Beautiful, quiet, and a must see!

Such a beautiful church to visit and attend Mass. This is a small facade, so don't walk too quickly down the street or you'll miss it! You can see the relic of the column on which St. Paul was beheaded and similar architectural style to the more well-known St. John's Cocathedral. You can also ask to use the restroom.

Amazing archtecture as a tribute to St Paul, but I wish these elaborately crafted churches were alive with worship rather than remaining a historical relic.

Certainly one of Malta’s most exquisitely designed and decorated Church interiors, the street outside here in Valetta suggests little of how profoundly gorgeous the inside of this Catholic house of worship truly is! I was moved, impressed and delighted by the peaceful and prayerful inside of this somewhat hidden church. What an extraordinary place! Please stop to see it while in Malta! It is easily accessible and barely off on the beaten path of many well known and touristy streets in this city. God Bless You!

We went to visit St. Paul of the Shipwreck Church today during the visitor hours that were posted online (Saturday morning, 7:30 am - 10:30 am). We arrived around 8:45 am and were "greeted" by an elderly gentlemen who told us that a private mass was being held and that we needed to return after 9:30 am. We went to a nearby coffee shop and returned to the church shortly after 9:30 am. The same man told us that another private mass was taking place. I reminded him that he had asked us to return after 9:30 am. He became very irate and began yelling "Go! Go! Go!" At that time, another few people arrived and asked very politely if they could pray in the church for a few minutes. "We need to pray. Please let us pray for a few minutes." The greeter started yelling at them and began to physically shove the woman in the group. It was horrifying. We all came to the church wanting to pray, wanting to be close to God, to light a candle, to admire the beauty, to make a donation and we were not only denied entry, we were treated like trespassers and a woman was physically mistreated. Shame on the church leadership for allowing this to happen. That "greeter" should be removed from his position immediately. He is volatile and unstable. There was another woman who then arrived, appearantly a tour guide. She very kindly attempted to intervene on our behalf by speaking in Maltese to the greeter, to no avail. At that point, the greeter became even more livid and was shouting at all of us. Shockingly unChristian behavior. The tour guide apologized and told us to come back on Monday at 9:30 am. We will certainly try. If the church posts visitor hours on line it would be nice if they actually honored them. At a time when the church in Europe is dying, when 90% of Europe's churches sit empty or have been abandoned altogether or have been turned into wine bars or dance clubs or yoga studios, those of us who made a point of coming to a church, of wanting to connect with and experience the church, were a) lied to and b) treated atrociously. The church should be welcoming us, not pushing us out. We left feeling very shaken and distraught. As someone who returned to church life six years ago, after decades away, this was a very triggering experience. Review Part Two - Two days after our first two attempts to visit the church, we returned during the hours posted online as open to visitors (Mondays, 7:30 am - 12 noon). We were met by the same hateful "greeter" who said the church was closed to visitors. This time he kept shouting at us, "No! No! No!" Apparently, once again, there was a scheduled event. Why the church lists visitor hours online that they do not honor is beyond me. We are very sorry to miss out on seeing St. Paul of the Shipwreck Church. In total, we've made three attempts to visit (two on Saturday, one on Monday). All I can conclude is that the church leadership are very poor stewards of this important church. They should be ashamed of themselves, but charlatans rarely are.

So beautiful! A wonderful place to stop, reflect and absorb the beauty and history.

Impressive architecture with rich ornaments and since it is off the normal tourist streets, it's a quite silent and calm place. The church is mostly open dueing the morning hours.
